Synopsis

Dr. Susan Miller is a brilliant, young, attractive marine biologist on a fast track career pathway at Memorial University of Newfoundland, doing behavioral studies on squid and octopuses, molluscan species noted for their high intelligence. Her studies are interrupted when the director of NOAA's Office of Research and Ocean Exploration requests her help aboard the oceanic research vessel, Okeanos Explorer, in the western Pacific Ocean to investigate the disappearance of some marine research divers from the ship. She is accompanied by her molecular biology post-doctoral trainee, Dr. Masami Matsumoto from Japan. It is suspected that one or more giant squid, usually a quiet, clandestine species, are responsible for these and other deaths in the region.

Scientists aboard the research vessel are also investigating the increased submarine seismic activity occurring in the western Pacific. These dilemmas require the two young marine biologists to travel around the globe, and to examine the molecular genetics to solve this problem and to discover its amazing causation.

The Aggressor Gene is a marine biology science-oriented thriller melding the areas of psychology, molecular biology and physical oceanography with marine biology in an exciting page turner.

Biographie de l'auteur

The author, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer, has been a professor of biomedical sciences in both medical and veterinary faculties, and as well has worked extensively in marine biology, particularly in marine mammal research. He has published numerous papers and written or edited many books, including recently, Molecular and Cell Biology of Marine Mammals. He has worked and lived with his family in several of the countries described in this book. He was also early employed as a scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center and more recently was an investigator associated with an amphibian experiment onboard the International Space Shuttle, STS 65. He has degrees from Duke University, Southern Illinois University and Harvard University. He lives in Virginia with his wife, dogs, cats and horses. This is his first novel.
