Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Intriguing idea, shame about the execution
Review: Yes, it's High Concept; what if gene technology could help emulate the healing powers of Christ?

Sadly, the writing is flat, the plot is pedestrian, the characters clichéd.

Michael Cordy was in marketing for 10 years prior to writing this, his debut, and it shows. He tries his best to push all the right buttons, but he just does so too clumsily. I wanted this book to be exciting, and I really stuck with it, but ultimately, beyond the basic premise it was just too flawed and uninspired.

Looking to read easily digested suspense that toys with novel ideas on science? Try something like "Lightning" or "Phantoms" by Dean Koontz.
