Who owns the cure to cancer?
The Public? Big Pharma? The Government?
In Flashblind, Jake, a world-class geneticist, has less than a month to complete his life's goal of finding the gene that is responsible for his brother's rare genetic disorder, the XP gene, that controls our body’s ability to repair itself and is the key to cure cancer. The genetic Holy Grail. Jake’s dream of saving his brother is derailed when he uncovers secrets in Los Alamos linking the Manhatttan Project to a modern day Big Pharma and government conspiracy.
Jake discovers human experiments that began in Los Alamos at the dawn of the atomic age have continued for a half-century. The Department of Energy has a classified goal that goes far beyond the development of the world’s most powerful atomic bomb. A goal that requires unraveling the secrets of DNA itself. The race to decode the human genome is not about improving our health and curing cancer. The government’s plan is to discover the genetic antidote to an atomic bomb, classify it as top secret, and win a nuclear war.
Is it a coincidence or conspiracy that the two most significant scientific races of our
time--namely the development of the atomic bomb and the sequencing of the genetic code--took place in the U.S. Department of Energy laboratories in Los Alamos, New Mexico?
Based on extensive research released through the Freedom of Information Act, Flashblind uncovers the shocking truth behind using humans as guinea pigs in government sponsored radiation experiments. Experiments so unethical that President Bill Clinton issued a United States government apology. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uDDQv...?)
