O knihe

Dr. Jonathan Drake is accustomed to seeing
dead people, but nothing like the deformed corpse lying on
his autopsy table-its thick and scaly skin rendering the
physical features unrecognizable. Worst of all, the body
belongs to a nine-year-old boy.
The young boy's
bizarre death leads Dr. Drake, along with Federal Agent Mona
Larsen, to investigate a prominent surgeon's unethical
search for a cancer cure. As they uncover one death after
another, Drake and Larsen soon realize their lives are in
danger when they discover that the biotech sector and United
States military are involved in the experimentation. After a
series of startling discoveries, they learn that the
affected children have been implanted with stem cells
containing a robust species of DNA which has orchestrated
their genomes into a cancerous state. Ironically, this same
orchestrator DNA is able to cure all types of cancer as
well.
As Drake doggedly pursues this master cure,
his competition surfaces when Dr. David Kreeger, a biotech
CEO and pediatric surgeon, reveals he is also seeking the
cure. When Drake confronts Kreeger, he is faced with a
difficult choice-one that tests just how far he will go to
realize his own dreams and ambitions.
