Synopsis Michael Crichton fuses numerous nightmarish scientific elements, particularly developments in biotechnology, to create a sprawling, multi-character novel about the corruption and abuse of science. As in his 2004 polemic against the validity of global warming (STATE OF FEAR), Crichton has a clear ideological stance on science, and these ideas intermingle with the plot of his thriller.

Industry Reviews "...few can match Crichton in crafting page-turners with intellectual substance, and his opinions this time are less likely to create a firestorm than his controversial take on global warming in 2004's STATE OF FEAR." (12/01/2006)
