Genecaust

by E.L. Russell

GENECAUST, 1st in a series of Technothrillers, is a 135,000 word Novel about a massive biochemical attack in the Middle East. To find the people behind the plot, SA GRANGER HAWKING is taken captive. MERET MATHER, a microbiologist aids in his return and discovers the attack is a test for another attack on the Homeland and she struggles to uncover its mission. Meret has just created a Genomic consulting company and works with the CIA to thwart the attack and rescue Granger. Together they discover the next attack is aimed at our Homeland.


The advent of CRISPR-cas9 ended what started as Science Fiction and has became a Technothriller. By definition, a Genecaust is the targeting and murdering specific groups of people or individuals by identifying existing, or engineered, genetic markers.
A Holocaust must be remembered so it can never happen again.
A Genecaust must be anticipated so it never happens.-E L Russell

Reviews

[Charles Ray · Rating 3 out of 5]

When a plot to use genomes and microbiomes to murder specific individuals or groups using genetic markers is discovered, Meret Mather is tasked to use her genomic consulting company to ferret out those behind the plot and prevent its implementation. Special Agent Granger Hawking, point man in the field, tasked with finding the people, is captured, and Meret must help rescue him.

An interesting ‘what-if’ techno-thriller that will please fans of the genre. Replete with technical details, it comes across in places as a bit dry, then makes up for that dryness with some decent action scenes.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and I give it three stars.
