Dr. Nicholas Donovan is a brilliant
genetic researcher with
little time for God. He's also damaged goods -- and knows it
--because one of his patients died in clinical trials for a
genetic cancer therapy. So why would SynTech Labs be
eager to hire the disgraced doctor? Donovan's not sure --
but he's not asking questions. Yet.
As the new head researcher on SynTech Labs' latest gene
therapy, Nick is surprised to learn how many Christians are
scheduled for injections at the SynTech Center -- and that
his predecessor died mysteriously. When he discovers a
stockpile of fatal gene therapies, questions flow.
Now Donovan must investigate his suspicions without
destroying his career. But there's more at stake than his
new job: his own life -- and the soul he didn't know he had. |

“... fast-paced and populated with
engaging characters. The plot cannot and does not try to
answer all of the ethical questions related to gene research, but it
has a strong Christian
worldview and a solid biblical foundation for the stances it takes.
It's entertaining, but it's also
mentally and spiritually challenging.”
--Jayne Walters, Church Libraries Magazine, Spring 2003, Volume 32,
No. 3
“Retrovirus reads like a race-car. It’s a high-speed collision
between super-sized egos and
undersized ethics in the way-too-brave new world of biotech. If you
want a preview of the moral
dilemmas we’ll be facing in the next ten years, read Retrovirus!”
--Randall Ingermanson, author of
Double Vision, Retribution,
Premonition, The Fifth Man,
and
the Christy Award-winning novels
Oxygen
and Transgression.
“Wow! Retrovirus is a fast-paced and fun read, laced with
thought-provoking truths. I highly
recommend it.”
--Gayle Roper, author of Seaside Seasons Series
“Just wanted to tell you what a
pleasure it was to read Retrovirus. I love and good medical thriller
--
this one was an excellent read! You created well developed
characters, that I found it easy to care
about ... Thanks for contributing to the Christian fiction scene!
I’ll be eagerly watching for all your
new novels. -- A.J.
“Your book was absolutely amazing! I had a very hard time putting it
down!!!!!!”
-- S.
I started reading it and I couldn’t put it down. I read it in one
day... I am a big fan of medical thrillers,
(Robin Cook, Michael Crichton), this was definitely in that league.”
-- J.A.
“I couldn't stop reading each night until I finished it.” -- T.M.
“I had a great time reading your book. The further I read, the more
I had to keep reading. The
excitement kept building until the very end. I realized that I
couldn't stop reading and so I read the
whole thing in one day.” -- R.H.
“I absolutely loved it!” -- S.F.
“From the beginning it captured me and kept me on the edge of my
seat like an action-packed
suspense movie. Besides being entertaining, it presents issues
relevant to our times. Looking
forward to the next book by this author!” -- D.K.
“Great book!! Very suspenseful; I could not put it down. It was so
fast-paced that after I started it, I
had to finish it before I went to bed. It reminded me of an Indiana
Jones movie - you're totally
captivated. The outcome was not predictive which just increased the
suspense. Also, the way
salvation was brought into the story line was initially subtle but
became very poignant. I think it will
affect every reader and make them think about the real purpose of
their life. I can't imagine anyone
not enjoying it!” -- R.D.
“Plan on blocking out some time, because this is one of those books
that you just can't put down. I
think the subject is timely and relevent, and the plot intriguing;
character development was great,
and even though it was a deep subject (gene therapy) and I'm not a
scientist, it wasn't too technical
to make it a difficult read. I read a lot of christian fiction and I
found this new author to be one of the
best of the bunch. Looking forward to more.” -- M.K.
“"I enjoyed this book very much. It is not the type of book I
usually am drawn to. Once I started
reading, it was very hard to put down and ended up with two very
late nights. It had many elements
to draw the reader in: suspense, love story, ethics and science. The
characters were very
interesting. I would recommend it! I also hope there will be some
sort of sequel.” -- T.O.
“This book gripped me from the moment I picked it up. The topic is
so timely - gene therapy, cloning;
the character development so complete -- I couldn't put it down. I'm
sure it will make people think
deeply about the topics. It may even have eternal consequences for
some! Higley has a winner with
this one. I can't wait for the next one!"” --D.P.
