What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

Monty Bannerman's father is a leading genetic scientist, and Nobel Prize winner, whose company has just been taken over by what will soon be the world's biggest pharmaceutical giant. He had some misgivings about their company ethics - but ultimately, he needs their money, and they need his mind.

Then a journalist comes to Monty's door, with a far-fetched story about the pharmaceutical company. She doesn't believe what she's being told for a moment - but within a few short weeks, events are making the apparently fantastic claims look horrifyingly like the truth.

Behind the respectable facade of the multi-national company which calls itself the 'World's Most Caring Company' lies an outrage against the whole human race...

Great Book

this is a well written story that makes you think. Content is actually enough for a series of books rather than one long one. Peter James is a great author and it always good to have subject matter that is new and not predictable.

This is a long book but worth it. A bit scary at times, but stick at it. Enjoy

Dark matter

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I liked the storyline - a bit gory at times - could be frustrating that it jumped through the years - easy to loose track and had to take it back a chapter a couple of times, just to understand what was going on.
It did keep me gripped though

Great narration - accents were spot on and totally believable.
I would recommend this - having not read the author before - I will try another to see how I get on .

Great story - very long - struggled a bit
