About the author
Michael Cordy
31 books122 followersMichael Cordy's first novel, The Miracle Strain, about the search for the DNA of Christ, was published in over twenty five languages and forty countries. It reached the top five in the Sunday Times Bestseller List and became a bestseller around the world.
Disney bought the film rights for $1.6 million.
Another five novels followed: Crime Zero, Lucifer, True, The Source and the latest THE COLOUR OF DEATH. All have been published in the UK by Bantam Press and Corgi, and translated into several languages.
Warner Bros optioned the film rights to The Source and Michael recently optioned Crime Zero to the producers of Lord Of The Rings and The Golden Compass, agreeing to write the screenplay.
Due to the ‘high concept’ nature of Michael Cordy’s novels the Press have called him “Britain’s answer to Michael Crichton.” Some of his early books have also been compared to Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code - although they were bestsellers many years before that novel was written.
The Miracle Strain was republished as The Messiah Code in many countries and some of the other novels have since been republished with new titles too.
Michael Cordy is British but was born in Ghana and spent much of his childhood in West and East Africa, India and Cyprus. He was educated in England at Kings School Canterbury and the universities of Leicester and Durham.
After ten years in marketing and advertising, his wife, Jenny backed his decision to give up a lucrative career and follow his dream of becoming a writer - so long as he finished his first novel in one year. It took him two. (He claims to have written all the necessary words in the allotted twelve months - just not in the right order)

Un buen Thriller , lleno de emociones y suspenso con una pizca de amor, la historia es entretenida y te lleva a diferentes emociones mientras lees cada pagina de el libro , sin embargo para mi el final es un poco flojo.

Me ha gustado pero no tanto como el gen. Original en su realización, la historia siempre mezclando la religión con la ciencia ficción. Es entretenido pero se me ha hecho en algunos momentos más largo. Me esperaba quizás más por lo que he leído de él.

La ciencia ficción no es precisamente un género que me guste, y, aunque la trama no me haya encantado, le doy 3 estrellas porque es de lectura àgil, lo que es de agradecer cuando no te gusta el género.

A pesar de que al principio va lento y creo que le sobra la mitad de la primera parte se que debo tolerarlo dado que es donde explican y van atando la historia, me gustó el tema que trata pero no me gusto que al final todo volviera a ser como antes y solo unos cuantos privilegiados aprendieran la leccion. Creo que habla sobre una gran verdad que es la redefinición de libre albedrio y como lo vemos en estas epocas, tanto si se cree o no; pero para no extenderme he de decir que solo le di 3 estrellas porque creo que la historia daba para más y que no era necesario un final "feliz".
