Sinopsis

Darwin's Cipher: The Genesis of a Cure

A revolutionary discovery. A lethal new threat. A race against time to save humanity.

In Darwin’s Cipher, brilliant cancer researcher Juan Gutierrez uncovers a hidden genetic algorithm that can predict the path of a species’ evolution over millennia. His breakthrough offers a tantalizing hope for overcoming human vulnerability to disease—but shadowy forces have their own sinister plans for this genetic super-tool.

When an FBI analyst investigating bizarre, unsolved cases is called out to a ranch with a single surviving calf surrounded by dead cattle, the DNA evidence points to something far beyond the ordinary. Meanwhile, a newborn child with an impossible genome sets off alarms at the NIH—and the race to contain a nightmarish outbreak begins.

From hidden labs to high-security bio-containment units, Darwin’s Cipher hurtles you into a nerve-shredding chase where science, conspiracy, and evolution collide—with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about our genetic destiny.

Reseña del editor

Juan Gutierrez, a cancer researcher, has spent years studying the genome of animals that exhibit immunity to some types of cancer. Over the course of his study, Juan discovers a pattern that allows him to predict the course of a species' evolution across thousands of generations. Using the algorithm he's developed from the pattern, Juan uncovers what he believes to be the key to conquering humanity's susceptibility to cancer.Others are interested in using what Juan has dubbed "Darwin's Cipher," however, instead of cancer research, they see very different applications for the new genetic algorithm. Nate Carrington, an FBI forensic analyst has been struggling with several cold cases when he’s alerted to an incident at a nearby ranch. It’s a case of a newborn calf who is found in the middle of a herd of dead cattle. It provides a single link to Nate's other cold cases: the DNA analysis of the calf doesn't match anything in the FBI's database.Somewhere in a rural hospital in West Virginia, four hospital workers are dead and a newborn child has been transported to the NIH's level-4 bio-containment unit. It's only when the NIH sends out an alert to all hospitals and law enforcement agencies that the world realizes the danger that faces them.
