Perhaps even more than I would like to know or imagine possible.
The use of bio-genetics as a biological weapon of warfare.
If it ever becomes as simple as it seems in this story then I am afraid we have something to worry about.
Kudos to the author for simplifying the process and explanations, so that a layman can understand all the science involved.
We see Eugenie find her moral compass and at the same time she is struck by the reality of not being able to do anything to change the plight of others or those in need. It is interesting to see that contradiction in someone who appears so completely ruthless and jaded.
I think Seth plays the key-role of the scientist confronted by the conundrum most scientists have to face or acknowledge eventually. To discover can also often men holding the key to a potential weapon. Each cure can become a recipe for death, and each new step forward could mean any steps backwards for humanity.
It could do with a little more structure and direction. The development of the main characters suffers a little from the sheer magnitude of the main plot and sub-plots.
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley.
