An eco-thriller turns the cutting edge of science into a killer . . .
The Fens, Cambridgeshire - a group of eco-warriors launch a dawn raid on Transgenic Biotech. And while their fields of genetically modified crops are being ripped up, Dan Cruickshank is searching the company laboratories for a secret file. But as he makes his escape, Dan is hit by a security vehicle and killed.
Meanwhile, several miles away, an organic farmer and his daughter are taken seriously ill with a bizarre strain of influenza - a virus that appears to have been picked up from eating their own potatoes. When Cambridge virologist Karl Housman visits the farm, he realises something is horribly wrong: all the animals are dead.
A timely and compellingly plausible novel, 'Genesis II' mixes all the instinctive hallmarks of the classic thriller with a chilling insight into the world of genetics and biotechnology: a terrifying story of what happens when the cutting edge of science turns killer.
