Synopsis
“Perdue has crafted a story that grips the imagination. Like the high-tech medical thrillers of Michael Crichton, this novel deftly combines hard science and narrative panache.” Booklist
Lara Blackwood, genetic engineering entrepreneur and presidential advisor, gets an urgent call to help solve a horrific epidemic in Tokyo. She soon realizes, to her horror, that terrorists have diabolically twisted her research to create a slatewiper -- a genetic weapon that uses a person’s own DNA to kill them. It’s the perfect way to annihilate an entire race…or all of humanity…and she’s the only one who can stop it.
“Humanity’s very existence is at stake in this latest hair-raiser by Perdue. A no-holds-barred biogenetic thriller.” Publishers Weekly
“A cunning blend of historical and ultra-modern fact fashioned into a stunningly unique plot. A page-turning thriller.” James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor
“Gripping, suspenseful and highly readable. If you like the crisp, taut writing style of ‘yes-this-could-really-happen Michael Crichton, you’ll love this book.” Tucson Citizen
“A superb thriller -- exciting, plausible, nothing slows it down.” Midwest Book Review
