Product Description
I got the first piece of bad news when Mullet claimed there was a contract out on my life. Evidently old man Merrill wanted revenge on the Liquidator who cemeteried his son…
Private detective Jerico Drake is used to dealing with a world that has basically rejected goodness. With the nation now balkanized into white, black, and Hispanic sections, and new breed of “genrich” (genetically sculptured) humans, technology has given evil a few more wrinkles.
Drake’s client, the young and lovely Lori Hallendorf, seems like a light in the midst of darkness…even though her life has been marred by tragedy. As Drake investigates her brother’s murder, he discovers that he’s been targeted by an unrelenting assassin – a robotic killer with a shocking kind of artificial intelligence.
In a world of nanotechnology and genetic engineering, where fantasies are easily fulfilled but dreams turn to ashes, Drake must pursue a deadly trail that will show him both the worse, and the best, of humankind.
In the balkanized, bizarre, politically correct world of the future, sin has not yet been eradicated. Neither has murder…A fast-paced thriller for those who love science fiction.

Just finished reading this book and I am not a Science Fiction reader, but this is an awesome book. It is very well written and has just the right amount of suspense and surprise. Great Read! Great Story! Kudos to the author
Rating: 5 / 5
here is nothing better than a riveting story about titanic battles between the forces of good and evil. Throw in some social commentary, historic reflections, struggles of faith and conscience, a Brave New World of science gone mad, and a dash of romance. The result is a truer-than-fiction peek into a frightening future that is headed our way… Highlands (Sebring, Fla.) Today

This book really got me and kept me right there. It’s a riveting, exciting story of the future. Great action, wonderful characters, good plot. A combination of C.S. Lewis and John D. MacDonald! It was a wonderful Christmas present to give also and a must read for everyone!

Very nicely done detective yarn set in a plausible near future — something of a blend of Philip Marlowe and Philip K. Dick from a Christian perspective. But this is also a multilayered work. Jerico Drake is a conflicted detective hero in the best of that tradition, and the novel has an interesting and provocative take genetic engineering, imagining a world where some humans are “genrich,” some are just “genplus” (so yesterday’s technology) while the rest are, well, just ordinary. The brave new world of genetic discrimination. And then there are the android enforcers, both “good” and bad. A nice addition to the Christian bookshelf, but don’t let the religious label dissuade you from reading this if you’re not Christian or just not particularly religious.

Sci-fi is not my genre of choice, but suspense and romance are. This author blends the three in an exquisite story line that keeps the pages turning in close succession. The hero is flawed, but his flaws only emphasize his humanity. The heroine has flaws in a different direction, (think Elizabeth Bennett) but her flaws also emphasize her humanity in the midst of her “perfection.”
Somehow, two flawed individuals combine, in a bizzare future of genetic engineering, to show us how the human spirit endures. There’s edge-of-your-seat suspense, a very clever sci-fi concept of the future of genetic engineering, and, my favorite, a sweet love story. Interspersed with the action is an unapologetic theme of Biblical ethics and motives … presented in a very realistic setting.
This story has something for everyone … and if your mom asks to borrow it when you’re finished … you won’t have to blush knowing that she knows what you’ve been reading! Very refreshing!!! (But … encourage her to buy her own copy. I’d like to encourage this author to write more!)
