About this listen

 George Galen is a brilliant scientist, a pioneer in gene therapy. But Galen is dangerously insane. He has created a method to alter human DNA, not just to heal diseases, but also to "improve" people - make them stronger, make them able to heal more quickly...and make them compliant to his will.

Frank Hartman is also a brilliant virologist, working for the government's ultra-secret biohazard agency. He has discovered how to neutralize Galen's DNA-changing virus. Now he is the one man who stands in the way of Galen's plan to "improve" the entire human race.

This taut thriller takes the listener a few years into the future and shows the promise and danger of new genetic medicine techniques.

👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent way to present thought provoking an ethical and moral dilemma, realistic enough that you could see how something similar could potentially happen.

Intelligent Read makes you pay attention

As with most of Mr Cards books, the topics are a workout for your brain. not a lazy read and may require going back once or twice to catch a detail that helps you move through the story. I have always liked the way his brain works and find it a delightful playground to spend time in.

It was good

The narrator was a bit stilted in the dialog, but the story was engaging.
