KEY SELLING POINTS

A story which enables the reader to follow and appreciate the rapidly evolving, complex and secretive world
of biotechnology and gene-editing.
Inspired by real life events, a novel bringing new understanding to recent turbulent world affairs.
While written through the eyes of a fictional character, it is based on the cumulative result of 4-years
independent research drawn from peer-reviewed scientific papers, news articles, books, YouTube videos,
policy documents and government reports.

Susie Miller, a 40-something Life Sciences lawyer unwittingly stumbles into the murky and dangerous global
biotechnology arms-race and the struggle to control its power and wealth. She takes readers through an eye-
opening journey of discovery and intrigue through the complex and secretive world of gene-editing.

Her fascination with the creation of the world’s first gene-edited babies in 2018 triggers alarm bells. Her
research quickly sparks interest from the military, governments, private entities and various intelligence
services which intensifies as the global Covid-19 pandemic unfolds. Susie’s specific paradigm in
understanding the bigger picture begins to unlock the secrecy and obfuscation surrounding catastrophic world
events. Her unique ability to bring new understanding to the confusion and global devastation results in a
frightening journey that sucks her into a shadowy covert world. The stakes for all involved could not have been
higher.

Inspired by real life events, Susie’s investigation marks 4-years independent research into biotechnology,
genomics, creation of the world’s first gene-edited babies, world affairs, infectious diseases and origins,
impact and legacy of Covid-19.
