    About this audiobook

    Juan Gutierrez, a cancer researcher, has spent years studying the genome of animals that exhibit immunity to some types of cancer. Over the course of his study, Juan discovers a pattern that allows him to predict the course of a species' evolution across thousands of generations. Using the algorithm he's developed from the pattern, Juan uncovers what he believes to be the key to conquering humanity's susceptibility to cancer. Others are interested in using what Juan has dubbed "Darwin's Cipher," however, instead of cancer research, they see very different applications for the new genetic algorithm.

    Nate Carrington, an FBI forensic analyst, has been struggling with several cold cases when he's alerted to an incident at a nearby ranch. It's a case of a newborn calf who is found in the middle of a herd of dead cattle. It provides a single link to Nate's other cold cases: the DNA analysis of the calf doesn't match anything in the FBI's database.

    Somewhere in a rural hospital in West Virginia, four hospital workers are dead and a newborn child has been transported to the NIH's level-four bio-containment unit. It's only when the NIH sends out an alert to all hospitals and law enforcement agencies that the world realizes the danger that faces them.

      Good Listen, was caught up in the race to find the cure, and the whirlwind around it.
    • 4/5
      A pleasant surprise. I bought this book at a discounted price because the plot sounded intriguing and found that the story was both original and complex with excellent characters and a good balance between relationships and action. Juan Guitterez is developing a genetic modification that will eliminate cancer. But there are other people who see opportunities for using his discovery to develop mutated animals for weapons. In a "Jurassic Park" type scenario, these weaponized genetic mutants get loose and alert Guitterez' company to the theft. But it gets personal when for Juan when his girlfriend becomes infected with the mutated virus. Can Juan find a cure for her, and for all of those who have become pawns in a game of money and power? A well written page turning thrill ride!
    • 4/5
      Intensely addicting tech-thriller featuring gene editing technology. Set in the current day, a genetic researcher designs a gene therapy that can cure cancer. Unfortunately the side effects are a killer.
