CRISPR Evolution

From an award-winning writer and biomedical researcher comes a science fiction thriller about a man who braves the ruins of our genetic past-and awakens humanity's sleeping destiny.

Brilliant geneticist Howard Wake has one life-defining dream: to advance human evolution, starting with his own kids. Under the radar of repressive agencies, he builds a tool designed to probe the human genome for buried treasure. But rousing ancient DNA from its age-old slumber is a risky undertaking. To create his children safely, Howard needs to enlist Jacqueline Witt, who has engineered a secret of her own. Before he can convince his friend and colleague to help him, Howard is forced to disappear into the science underground. Deciding that it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, he takes everything he needs with him.

Eight years later, Howard's kids are helping him run a garage lab in Massachusetts-but federal agents are only a step behind, the twins' sleeping DNA is beginning to stir, and Jacqueline has tracked down the man who stole what she values most ... and she's willing to do whatever it takes to get it back.
