A rogue biotech team, funded by egotistical Texas millionaire E. Royston MacDonald, dares to defy world scientific opinion, ethics, the Vatican, and legalities to attempt to create the first human clone - and in time to compete for the centennial Nobel prize for medicine.
The result of MacDonald's Project Samuel won't be just any baby. The Texan and his noted scientific team plan to clone a famous baseball player - without his knowlege. But for Project Samuel to be successful, the wealthy oilman needs the project management skills of Jack Danton, a biotech research salesman, and a macabre collection of sports memorabilia belonging to an elderly Italian barber in Boston. MacDonald can afford both! San Diego and Boston are the settings of this timely and thrilling story of theft of DNA, surrogate parenting, baseball, love and high-tech science. A Project Samuel could be happening now, just as Polidoro has envisioned.
