The sensational bestseller read by over a million people and translated into six languages. Richards is “a worthy successor to Michael Crichton," (SF Book.com), who can “keep you turning the pages all night long" (Douglas Preston). Kira Miller is a brilliant genetic engineer who discovers how to temporarily achieve a transcendent level of intelligence. But this enhancement comes at a high cost. When Kira is found to be behind a bioterror plot that threatens millions, special forces operative David Desh is tasked with hunting her down. But when Desh learns that the bioterror plot is just the tip of the iceberg, he is thrust into a byzantine maze of deception and intrigue, and becomes a key player in a deadly game he can't begin to understand. One that is certain to have a dramatic impact on the course of human history. . . Richards delivers a smart thriller crammed with breakneck action, unexpected twists, mind-expanding science, and intriguing concepts readers will be contemplating long after they've read the last page.

Perhaps I'm rating this book so highly because many of the books I've read recently have been disappointing. The story is a mixture of thriller, action, science fiction - and other genres that I won't mention for fear they would spoil your enjoyment of the book. In my opinion, the science fiction elements were mostly believable - to someone as ignorant as me. Even the parts of the story that dealt with computer technology were vague enough for me to believe.
