Generation

A crime-thriller with an injection of horror. "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo meets the X-Files." ROB SVENSON "A strange, intriguing, and gripping novel." NORMAN BILBROUGH, author of A Short History of Paradise In 2001 scientists isolated the gene for regenerating damaged organs from theDNA of a South American flatworm. Within five years it had been spliced into the chromosomes of a rhesus monkey, transported through the cell walls by a retro-virus denuded of its own genetic material. Attempting to regrow impaired or elderly tissues, a scientist will one day modify the DNA of human beings by injecting the gene-carrying virus. It is just a matter of time. Before consenting to treatment, you may want to ask a simple question: could there be a situation in which you would want to die but were unable to do so? Generation, horror garnished crime-thriller Journalist Hendrix 'Aitch' Harrison links bodies stolen from a renowned forensic-researchlab to an influential drug company. Aided by Sarah Wallace, a determined and beguiling entomologist, he delves into a grisly world of clinical trials and a viral treatment beyond imagining. But Aitch must battle more than his fear of technology to expose the macabre fate of the drugged victims donated to scientific research.
