According to Normal Mailer, The Genesis Code is ".... impeccable in plot, immaculate in story resolution, and moves with high skill from locale to locale and from suspense to suspense. What a very good, virtuoso read."
This 1st edition collectible hard cover copy is in excellent, like-new condition. Its pages appear unread and the binding is tight. The book is not inscribed, not an ex-library, not a remainder, not a book club edition and the DJ is not clipped. The DJ has a little wear - mostly edge wear (the photos in the listing are scans of the actual book offered), as might the book (though none was noticed).
From the dust jacket:
Mysterious assassinations. Cutting-edge medical technology. A secret organization with an unholy agenda. John Case has combined these intriguing elements into an explosive novel that will keep you up all night turning the pages.
Joe Lassiter awakens to the ring of the phone in the dead of the night. His sister Kathy and her young son Brandon have died in a blaze in their expensive home near Washington, D.C. Rushing to the scene, Lassiter learns the deaths were no accident: his sister and nephew were brutally murdered in their beds before the fire was set. The police are stumped, by Lassiter knows one thing: whoever killed his last living relatives provoked the wrong man....
The Genesis Code is the story of a secret. A secret so powerful, so cataclysmic, that if it becomes known, it will alter the course of Western civilization. A secret that is the center of the suspense novel of the year, perhaps the decade.
"The Genesis Code is a non-stop, eye-shut, heart-clutcher of a ride. Mixing sharp dialogue with vivid settings and a plot that just won't quit, John Case has delivered a thriller for all seasons." Lorenzo Carcaterra
"The Genesis Code is the most exciting book I've read in years." Tony Hillerman
