O knihe

From an award-winning writer and biomedical researcher comes a science fiction thriller about a man who braves the ruins of our genetic past-and awakens humanity's sleeping destiny. Brilliant geneticist Howard Wake has one life-defining dream: to advance human evolution, starting with his own kids. Under the radar of agencies that have outlawed all but the tamest science, he builds a tool designed to probe the darkest crypts in the human genome for buried treasure. But rousing ancient DNA from its age-old slumber is a risky undertaking. To create his children safely, Howard needs to enlist Jacqueline Witt, who has engineered a secret of her own. Before he can convince his friend and colleague to help him, Howard is forced to disappear into the science underground. Deciding that it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, he takes everything he needs with him. Eight years later, Howard's kids are helping him run a garage lab in Massachusetts-but federal agents are only a step behind, the twins' sleeping DNA is beginning to stir, and Jacqueline has tracked down the man who stole what she values most ... and she's willing to do whatever it takes to get it back. CRISPR Evolution was a first-place winner in the PNWA literary contest, a semifinalist in the Chanticleer International Book Awards, and a finalist in the Page Turner Awards. Fans of Orson Scott Card, Ursula Le Guin, and Octavia Butler will love this tale of genetic roguery in a world where free inquiry has become a rare and dangerous commodity.
