Lewis Perdue is an entrepreneur, technologist, scientist, professor, author, publisher, journalist, and outdoorsman and New York Times best-selling author of 22 published books. His plots grow out of a scientific education, investigative reporting of prominent crimes and felonies in Congress and the White House. He currently performs a variety of services for a private global intelligence firm and a major U.S. law enforcement agency.
“Perdue has crafted a story that grips the imagination. Like the high-tech medical thrillers of Michael Crichton, this novel deftly combines hard science and narrative panache.” Booklist
Lara Blackwood, genetic engineering entrepreneur and presidential advisor, gets an urgent call to help solve a horrific epidemic in Tokyo. She soon realizes, to her horror, that terrorists have diabolically twisted her research to create a slatewiper -- a genetic weapon that uses a person’s own DNA to kill them. It’s the perfect way to annihilate an entire race…or all of humanity…and she’s the only one who can stop it.
