Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury, head of an independent research facility, has been experimenting with a gene sequence that allows fruit flies to live three times longer than normal. But what she really wants to find is that same type of longevity gene sequence for humans. When she's unexpectedly given the element that could lead to that breakthrough, the results are catastrophic, in more ways than ever imaginable.
The progression and culmination of this story's intriguing premise did not quite live up to my expectations. It starts off very interesting with a good backstory and the promise of a great scientific thriller posing moral questions of biblical proportions. However, present-day character interaction detracts from an otherwise fascinating hypothesis of finding a gene sequence that can prolong life and the consequences of that discovery. THE GENESIS KEY is still a good read for those interested in this scientific topic.
More than three decades ago, Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury's
archaeologist parents were murdered at an ancient
excavation site in Iraq. Now the gifted biologist stands
on the brink of a miraculous breakthrough: the discovery
of a gene that could extend a human life by hundreds of
years. But at the moment of her greatest triumph, a
mysterious phone call reveals a hidden truth that draws
chaos and violence once again into Kathleen's world . . .
and threatens to irreversibly alter the destiny of
humankind.
For somewhere in the shadows, powerful unseen forces are
watching . . . and waiting. Suddenly Kathleen is a target
of covert government operatives as she races to uncover
the mystery behind her parents' secret research and brutal
deathsβ a mystery locked in the human genome, in the sands
of antiquity, and in the Book of Genesis. More than
survival is at stake for Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury. The
future of all humanity hangs in the balance . . . and the
prize is the secret of life itself.
