Hated this book. Slick best-seller soulless prose, laughable characters, reactionary scare-mongering. Obviously did a lot of research and went to great efforts to get the scientific trivia correct, but the main premise was so insanely impossible that I couldn't take the plot seriously. It blantently went against every scrap of what's know about genetic potential. If you're going to talk to a whole bunch of geneticists to research your backstory (and I presume he did) why not write about a REAL potential disaster rather than this sensationalized crap?
