Greed, power, and money. People and animals for research are expendable. This kind of story keeps me gritting my teeth the whole way through and forging on. It's difficult to read about inhumanity, abuses, and atrocities in the name of the cause. Loads of drama, cloak and dagger, page-turning action. The fight isn't over!!!

An electrifying thrill ride that blends Jason Bourne’s relentless action with James Bond-style espionage. This book is packed with heart-pounding motorbike and boat chases, a complex web of espionage, shadowy government conspiracies, and the chilling implications of population engineering. The writing is intricate and demands your full attention. This isn’t a casual bedtime read; it’s a gripping narrative that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next installment.
