Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller
World powers compete to control the genetics of intellect,
and a man's DNA holds a key piece of the puzzle. When
research suggests how to harness brain evolution, a hunt
ensues for a missing link―one that allows to design humans
with skills that prodigies of old would have envied. The reader is thrown into the thick of unfolding events as
the world's last monarchy crumbles and a baby is torn from
its mother and forced into hiding. For the next twenty years
he will grow up unaware of the pivotal role he shall play in
the global pursuit for the unique traits he possesses. Germline engineering and biological enhancement have become
routine, and ancient doubts have emerged under new guises:
Who are we? Is there a purpose to life? Why is there so much
suffering? When faith and science fail to answer these
questions, personal greed and national interest quickly fill
the void. But gene selection is expensive, and many are
excluded from its benefits. The stage is set for tribalism and social discontent on a
scale without precedent, and those caught in the fray,
whether by choice or by chance, must play roles not always
to their liking in the struggle of all creatures against the
arbitrariness of existence.
