Présentation de l'éditeur

From the New York Times bestselling coauthor, with Frank Herbert, of The Jesus Incident A near-future thriller of deadly genetic warfare. The private laboratory known as ViraVax, deep in the Central American jungles, is known for conducting questionable genetic research outside of safety regulations and oversight. Ex-intelligence officer Rico Toledo has uncovered a horrifying truth. Viravax, run by a mysterious utopian group called the Children of Eden, wants to remake the world, and humanity itself, according to their own image. As he digs deeper, Toledo’s worst suspicions have been confirmed: his partner has been genetically programmed for assassination. And Toledo may have been altered, too.
