The Apocalypse Gene is a novel set at Yale University. It is a work of fiction but could easily be a chilling future reality, with recent advances in gene therapy.
Ryan and Nicole are students at Yale who, despite their opposite upbringings, find common ground when they discover that a brilliant genetics professor has silently altered the DNA of almost everyone. At first they refuse to believe it. How could a stunning alteration of this magnitude happen without anyone knowing? But as they probe deeper, spying on the professor, sifting through his files, they make an incredible discovery, one that terrifies them.
Desperate, they try to find help, but everywhere they turn-Ryan's coach, the police, even Nicole's influential family-they find great danger. Powerful factions not only want the devastation to occur, but want control of the professor's research for their own private gain, and to them, Ryan and Nicole are simply obstacles in the way.
The Apocalypse Gene is a story of the secret world of genetics, of tiny, invisible particles that might one day devastate the lives of all humans. It's a story of family bonds broken, and young love tested, a story that will occupy your thoughts long after you put it down.
