"Come on Liz, you'd be perfect for the experiment!" her friend urged, and she was right. Elizabeth was young, healthy, intelligent, and, most important, pregnant. Liz allows herself to be injected with the Einstein Factor not once but twice producing a son with her first pregnancy and a daughter with the second. When Mark turns eighteen, he is taken into governmental custody never to be heard from again. Now, twenty years later, Liz's daughter, Sara, is a successful businesswoman in the computer industry. Her latest research project has caught the attention of the same government agency. Hoping to link Sara's project with her brother's, and at the same time correct an error from the past, the agency sends out a couple of agents to kidnap Sara using Mark as the bait. Sara must use her cunning and help from friends to avoid capture and free her brother.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Einstein Factor-Fascinating, July 7, 2001

This review is from: The Einstein Factor (Paperback)

The Einstein Factor was griping. I was fascinated with the depth of the characters. The plot kept me intrigued and unable to put the book down until the end. The warmth and compassion shown by Sara for her brother and friends was touching. It is easy to put yourself in the role of Liz and Ray as struggling students making the decision to use the Einstein Factor. This book was so real and believable. What will happen next? Hopefully there will be a sequel. The author did an excellent job.
