The Genesis Genes

by Brian Spector

Professor David Touster, an ambitious young geneticist, believes that the DNA in every human cell is embedded with a “God code”. His research aims to uncover these genes and show how they tempt each one of us to pursue a spiritual connection. Unexpectedly, Special Agent Boyd Easton interrupts Dr. Touster’s ambitions and demands that he refocus his expertise in order to help solve a cold case. Fifteen years earlier, between the winter of 2020 and the spring of 2021, a kidnapper meticulously plucked four babies from their families. The FBI remained clueless as to why, and now, in 2035, those stolen teenagers have come of age with nature’s most powerful gifts: superior genetics. Agent Easton fears a sinister plot in which the weaponization of those gifts may not only threaten national security but also bring about global peril.
What follows is a thrilling tale in which the worlds of science, astrology and religion entwine, shedding light upon the origin of our species, our drives, and our special destiny. With little time and perilous stakes, Dr. Touster wonders whether the same “Genesis Genes” that he thought he had put aside may prove to be the necessary ingredient for human survival.

Brilliant debut novel by author Brian Spector. The absolutely esoteric book cover drew me in and the ensuing amazing story kept me thoroughly entrenched til the final three words….”But I did.”

The book begins with the first of four infant kidnappings in 2020. As the author adeptly weaves his story, it becomes apparent that the 4 infants are all genetically gifted and are being groomed for an unknown purpose.

As the story jumps 15 years forward, the author introduces multiple interesting characters who are involved with scientific research. These characters subsequently become involved with the FBI in the effort to solve the infant kidnapping cold case. Thus ensues many interesting twists and turns which reveal that the kidnapper has a riveting global purpose.

Truly, this is the perfect story for a blockbuster movie! Is it prophetic or cautionary? Be prepared for a great interruption in your life schedule. A piece de resistance for author Brian Spector. Highly recommend!
