Kevin Rogan’s a young lawyer in a big New York firm. The last thing he needs is a pro bono case on top of his work load. His client’s in the a smart and beautiful girl who has fallen into deep schizophrenia overnight. Her friends start falling as well. Schizophrenia isn’t contagious—or is it? The girls all live surrounded by fields of genetically modified corn. Could an infectious agent jump from corn to attack the human brain? The clock is ticking. It’s growing season. Can Kevin prove that allowing the corn to bloom will cause great, irreparable and immediate harm? Arrayed against him, one of the world’s most powerful corporations will stop at nothing to suppress the evidence.
Even though this is fiction, it definitely made me think more about GM food and its unforeseen consequences. The book was fast-paced and decently written. As someone who lives in the Corn Belt, the premise behind this book is terrifying!
