Book Description

Publication Date: January 20, 2005

Retrovirus is now available in an inexpensive mass market paperback edition! Nicholas Donovan is a brilliant genetic researcher with little time for God. He's also damaged goods-and knows it-because one of his patients died in clinical trials for a cancer therapy. So why would SynTech Labs be eager to hire the disgraced doctor? Donovan's not sure-but he's not asking questions. Now, as the new head researcher on SynTech Labs' latest gene therapy, Nick is surprised to learn how many Christians are scheduled for injections. When he discovers a stockpile of fatal gene therapies, questions flow. Can he investigate without wrecking his career. . .and perhaps uncover the soul he didn't know he had?

This review is from: Retrovirus: What If They Really Are Out to Get You? (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book very much. It really was a great blend of suspense, love story, ethics and spirituality. It is the type of book you want to read straight through. I enjoyed the personalities of the characters. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Retrovirus Review, February 6, 2003

This review is from: Retrovirus: What If They Really Are Out to Get You? (Paperback)

Great book!!
Very suspenseful; I could not put it down. It was so fast-paced that I had to finish it the same day I started. It reminded me of an Indiana Jones movie - you're totally captivated. The outcome was not predictive which just increased the suspense. I think it will affect every reader and make them think about the real purpose of their life. 'Big thumbs up!'

This review is from: Retrovirus: What If They Really Are Out to Get You? (Paperback)

New author, T.L. Higley, spins a web of suspense in this book, Retrovirus. The plot is intriguing, and I found I just couldn't put this book down! The issue (gene therapy) is timely and relevent to issues today and although I am not a scientist, I found the details readable and understandable, and I didn't get pulled away from the plot as it was woven into the story. Character development was good, too. I look forward to more from this author!
