Fantistically Realistic

This book is excellent. If you have read Miracle Strain I would say Crime Zero might just pip it to the post.If you can imagine that potentially the gene responsible for crime can be modified to create pasive individuals and no violence among peoples and countries. Ok then imagine that this could also wipe out certain races or class of people. Scary thoughts. Crime Zero actually becomes incredibly real. Rogue geneticists have identified the gene and are intent on creating a world of stability and peace (nothing wrong with that you say). But in doing this it will involve a number of deaths (millions) generations wiped out.Only one person can stop the genocide and she created the original gene modifications necessary but she is being shut down.A very very good read.

Hard to believe -- the second better than the first

Even better than "The Miracle Strain". A genetic thriller that makes you forget it's fiction. Loved both books - new favorite author! Can't wait till the next one.

Futuristic Battle of Sexes Well Done!

Well Written book about the future battle of sexes. I found myself drawn into the story wanting to take sides with one character or another! Goood BOOOOK!

FAST AND FURIOUS: MADE US ARGUE A LOT AT HOME!

Kept me glued to the page for two nights and then my wife had to read it and then we argued about whether men are naturally violent for the whole week-end. We both loved it but the fact that we argued shows that there's a lot more brainwork to this novel than usual. Great

Genetic engineering thriller

By the year 2008, violent crime attains epidemic levels across the planet. FBI Director Madeline Taylor wants to end the geometric rise in violence. The first female head of the bureau turns to her friend Alice Prince, the force behind the third largest biotech firm in the nation. Working with scientist Kathy Kerr, Alice has isolated and lessened the impact of the male aggressive genes, making the male species less prone to violence. The FDA approves testing the process on humans, but unknown to Kathy, Alice and Madeline have already illegally tested on the species for almost a decade. A stunned Kathy learns the truth and plans to blow the whistle. However, they kidnap her instead. Her former lover FBI agent Luke Decker manages to rescue her only to learn that her two abductors have other more diabolical plans for the serum. Anyone who has had the pleasure to read THE MIRANDA STRAIN will enjoy CRIME ZERO. Like the former novel, this medical thriller centers on genetic engineering. The difference between the two tales is that the latter is much easier for a lay-person to understand, thereby adding to the pulse pounding enjoyment. The various subplots with its myriad of characters smoothly coalesce into a fast-paced story line that proves how much skill Michael Cordy possesses. Mr. Cordy has reengineered the medical thriller sub-genre with his magnificent genetic engineering novels.Harriet Klausner
