Caught in Time

by Marc O'Shaughnessy

Fresh out of college, newly hired molecular biologist Danny Barajas is assigned to a secret project created by billionaire industrialist Walter Brown. Told he is to use his knowledge of cells and DNA to save an endangered species, Danny soon begins to suspect Brown has something far more extraordinary in mind. To succeed in his assignment, Danny has to use techniques developed by his friend and fellow scientist, Frank Danforth, whose feud with their manager, Derrek Coulter, threatens to end both of their careers. When Danny is nearly killed in an attempt on Frank’s life, they set out to uncover the truth behind Brown’s hidden plan. Their search is only beginning when Coulter’s car is fished out of the Pacific Ocean and Frank is arrested for Coulter’s murder. Enlisting the help of his fiancée, Gabriela Velasquez, Danny races against the clock to uncover the truth. What he discovers will change his life – and the lives of millions – forever.

Its hard to say anything about this intriguing tale about the biotech world -- and cloning -- without a spoiler. So I'll just say I found the adventures of biotech engineer Danny to be scary but fun. The un-fun part is realizing (making "real") the implications of advances in bioscience that make such a story believable. "It" (no spoiler) could happen . . .
