Review
I truly enjoyed this thriller. It was a real page turner. I hadn't a clue about the technical and scientific bits and yet that did not spoil my enjoyment at all. In fact the formula felt right. I was fascinated by the subject matter and totally involved in the story. It was a great read I would have high hopes for this one. It is gripping, well-written for its genre of the time and thoroughly engaging. --Gillian Bethstein
Product Description
The Doomsday Genie is a fast-paced action thriller by bestselling writer, Frank P. Ryan. Set in America, it describes the desperate response of a small group of heroes to a presumed W.M.D. attack featuring a genetically engineered bioweapon. It is grounded on real understanding of modern science as you would expect from a bestselling author who is also happens to be a gold-medallist physician and distinguished biological scientist. Ryan came to widespread acclaim with thrillers such as "Goodbye Baby Blue" and "Tiger Tiger. His "The Forgotten Plague" was a Book of the Year for the New York Times, "Virus X" was an Amazon com best-seller and "Darwin's Blind Spot" was the "Amazon Featured Book" recommended by Charlie Munger at the 2003 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting. His books have been translated into many languages and have been the subject of more than a dozen television features and documentaries. The book was the subject of a blog on www.lablit.com and has attracted a high degree of advance and interactive attention on Frank's website www.fprbooks.com

Format:Paperback
An intriguing thriller with its thrills and spills, twists and turns that has been cleverly constructed to keep you guessing to the end. It's the sort of story that once started it's hard to put down. I am told the science is plausible, which makes it all the more scary.
Format:Paperback
Read it for the action and suspense (I finished it at a single reading)
or at another level for the scientific implications.
Reminiscent of classic Sci-Fi thrillers such as Michael Crichton's "Andromeda Strain", or Hoyle's fiction.
