Alpert does a superb job of balancing the action and the science. He's delivered his best book to date, and comparisons to Michael Crichton are warranted. ―Associated Press

As intelligent as it is frightening, a riveting journey to the next stage of evolution. Here is a cautionary tale for the new millennium, fraught with suspense and political intrigue. A chilling punch to the gut. ―James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Bloodline

A scary, sophisticated thriller that will give survivalists plenty to think about. ―Kirkus Reviews

"Mark Alpert's novels just keep getting better and better. He is truly the heir to Michael Crichton, writing cutting-edge science-based thrillers that will keep you obsessively turning the pages.
