Trispero
Our intellect directs us. Our humanity defines us.
What if the key to unlocking our genetic code and our future lay within some of our most disenfranchised individuals? Would we still shun them?
Seattle in the year 2330: centuries of conflict have led to this precipice. If the world is to move forward, Olivay has the difficult task of teaching Alucia her history. Olivay knows that without understanding where she came from Alucia will never be able to help humanity explore the universe.
In present day Seattle, Jason Roy is a scientist whose life revolves around his daughter, Lily. Within her genome lies a secret that Jason has dedicated himself to uncovering. The mundane life of a scientist and his family takes a turn when a multinational corporation decides Jason Roy's research is a danger to them.
Jason and Lily are now running away from an unforeseen enemy and toward a discovery that will change mankind. Altering the world may come too late for Jason to save what matters most in his own world.
The great irony of unlocking our genetic potential was finding that our greatness was found in our love for one another.

Olivay and his daughter Alucia he day in 2330. He begins to tell her the story of the Trispero. In present day after the death of his wife Rachel in childbirth Jason Roy is now raising his Downs Syndrome daughter Lily alone. Jason had shifted his studies to genetic disorders. Looking for a cure for Lily. Finding that the t-cells could have other uses in body, he started looking at possible cure for other diseases and disorders. A rival company wanted to be the first to discover the possibility. Which leads to murders, cover ups and has Jason and his daughter running for their lives.
I have to admit I was torn on my rating for this book. In the beginning, it was technical overload. You really need to keep in mind that it is a story being told. It was easy to get caught up in the lives of Jason and Lily. . They had such a wonderful relationship. Jason's whole world was his daughter. He loved her the way she was. From the medical and genetic stand point, I was a little lost. As the story continued it started making more sense. The second half of the book was non stop action. Everything started falling into place about what the past has to with the future. By that point I was caught up in the suspense and mystery of the story.

This is a book that's rough around the edges but has a great story at its core. It has good suspense and an interesting premise. It needs editing for mechanics (grammar, spelling, punctuation) as well as for story structure: I'd relegate the future scenes to a prologue and epilogue and maintain the sense of imminent danger all the way to the end. So it could use another draft but still has great potential.

Good premise for a story. unfortunately, this book needed about 5 more rounds of editing (there were so many spelling/grammar mistakes in the kindle edition that I almost stopped reading). Also, the author doesn't seem to understand the difference between information that progresses the story line and useless detail. I think this book was a good idea, but really REALLY poorly executed. It was actually quite a struggle to get to the end

Compelling read.
I have always loved a mix of loss and medical books that make sense.
The characters are moving.
I also like a good clean read and this book fit the bill.

Trispero, follows Jason and his daughter, Lily, before and after her birth. The before is a sad tale, but the after tells a story that inspires and also shows the sad reality of the world we live in. The research Jason is coming across is putting him, his career, and most importantly Lily in danger. Together they must fight a common enemy.
This book really grabbed me early on. It told such a sad and fascinating tale that it was hard to put down. It got a bit slow as the story progressed mainly because it got harder to understand with all the science stuff, but I kept reading and was glad that I did. This book shows the love of all things different. It shows that being different as a person just may be the most important thing of all. While some see being different or having a certain health issue as a fault, sometimes ignoring that and living life and accepting this is the best way to go. This book teaches to love no matter what.
I had to rate this a 4 because throughout the book I found some mistakes in names. You would be reading a paragraph about Jason but it would be using Nate's name instead or vice versa. Other than this issue, it was written very well. And the ending was amazing.
Just a side note (which once you read you will understand): Lily is a wonderful person in this book. I fell in love with her as a character. Shes quirky and just hard not to love. Jason is the same. His love for his daughter is amazing....Stormi

This book has potential but it really needs editing. There's problems with writing style, pacing of the story, spelling and grammar mistakes, they even say wrong names a couple of times.
It was hard to get through in the beginning and it did pick up in the middle of the book but the flow of the story was not good. I found myself putting down the book several times. There was a danger element to the story but I never felt like the characters were in any real danger, I felt that nothing bad was going to happen to them.
The author picked the wrong things to be over detailed about and other things to speed on through with little details. I felt that at the end it went to fast with bringing the bad guys down and that the author could of expanded or provided more scenes. It felt kind of glossed over.
In the end I went with two because of the issues it had. If this get edited, it's easily a 3 to 3 1/2 star book, maybe a 4 with the right editor.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Olivay's Story
I enjoyed the deeper meaning in this book. I liked the science / genetic studies. The beginning of this book is rather long and tedious to read. This book was a history of what had transpired a long time ago. The last half of the book was more interesting. There was a little more action. I liked this book and enjoyed the ending.

A story of love, commitment, and and understanding.
A technical lesson in the near future probabilities of DNA sequencing , both good and evil. This I's not a fast paced read, but one that requires thought and rumination.
