Book Description

March 2002
It's probably never a good idea to steal a pig. But if the animal happens to be bioengineered for xenotransplants using millions of federal research dollars, the repercussions could be extreme.

Three people go from bored to nothing left to lose--a disillusioned artist is now wanted for hit and run, a retired black man loses a granddaughter used as a medical guinea pig, and a veterinarian waltzes with a log truck and looks more like Frankenstein's monster than Lon Chaney, Jr. did.

Kismet unites these three with a dog who is the reincarnation of an evangelical preacher. Together they steal a remarkably talented pig cloned for organ harvesting. Now everyone from hospital security to the FBI and even foreign agents with vested interests are determined to catch the felons and retrieve the valuable experiment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, caustic, and offering a different perspective, August 4, 2002
This review is from: Dreaming Pigs (Paperback)
Lynne Carver's Dreaming Pigs is a bizarre and fantastic novel about three people who conspire to steal a pig cloned especially to create organs harvestable for human beings, and who find themselves in for much more than they bargained. Witty, caustic, and offering a different perspective on the latest medical breakthroughs of today, Dreaming Pigs is highly recommended, entertaining, and occassionally thought-provoking reading.
