Free copies of Perfectible Animals - A novel about Genetic Engineering
date
newest »

For anyone who's interested, I am currently giving away kindle copies of my novel Perfectible Animals via Amazon.
Perfectible Animals is a near-future science fiction novel that explores the possibilities and possible side effects of genetically engineering humans. I am not a scientist but I did a lot of research while writing this book, and consulted numerous times with geneticists to make sure all the scientific details were as accurate as absolutely possible.
Here's the synopsis:
THE NEXT STAGE IN HUMAN EVOLUTION IS ALMOST HERE... BUT WILL HOMO SAPIENS SURVIVE?
________________________________________________
It's 2065. Environmental and social chaos are poised to disrupt all life on Earth.
Michael Khan, a geneticist struggling to save his wife from a deadly virus, is recruited by a secret organization to engineer the next stage in human evolution - making us immune to disease and highly cooperative.
When the military learns of Michael's research, he is hired to create genetic resistance to a weaponized form of Ebola being used against their troops. However, the military has an agenda of its own, and Michael soon learns that nobody, not even his own government, can be trusted.
Desperate to save humanity before they wipe themselves out, Michael genetically modifies over one hundred children. Ironically, they start to breed diseases that are deadly to Homo sapiens, and he is arrested for bio-terrorism.
Now, Michael isn't only fighting for the life of his wife, but for himself, his modified children, and millions of civilians about to be wiped out by diseases he is responsible for creating.
The problem is -- he can't save them all.

Perfectible Animals is a unique blend of thriller and science fiction. If you like books by Michael Crichton or Kim Stanley Robinson, combining complex plots, compelling characters, and scientific detail, then you'll probably love Perfectible Animals.
