Rick Hayden and Laura Fanning of Panacea return in this next thriller by F. Paul Wilson and come across another impossible medical scenario—the gene that makes us human. Or does it? Rick's brother, Keith, a prominent zoologist at NYU, suddenly liquidates his assets and walks out of his job never to be seen again. The only clues they have are his brother's book which mentions "the God Gene"—a gene found only in primates that spontaneously appears in the evolutionary record and controls brain development—and the mysterious death of odd, blue-eyed primate brought back from East Africa. Rick and Laura's search takes them to an uncharted island off the coast of Mozambique and the edge of evolutionary science. The ICE Sequence Series

Author
Francis Paul Wilson is an author, born in Jersey City, New Jersey. He writes novels and short stories primarily in the science fiction and horror genres. His debut novel was Healer (1976). Wilson is also a part-time practicing family physician. He made his first sales in 1970 to Analog and continued to write science fiction throughout the seventies. In 1981 he ventured into the horror genre with the international bestseller, The Keep, and helped define the field throughout the rest of the decade. In the 1990s he became a true genre hopper, moving from science fiction to horror to medical thrillers and branching into interactive scripting for Disney Interactive and other multimedia companies. He, along with Matthew J. Costello, created and scripted FTL Newsfeed which ran daily on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1992-1996. http://us.macmillan.com/author/fpaulw...
