Description

In 2012 geneticists discovered how to write information on DNA, record data like on a computer hard drive. What if what we used to call junk DNA had information left their from millions of years ago? A post-graduate student discovers how to unlock this information and parts of bio-schematics and data are found in certain people. The largest scientific initiative since the Manhattan Projects was started and kept hidden from the rest of the world as this information is collected and collated...to what end even they don't know. Will they find a stairway to heaven or accidentally unleash something that will kill us all.

Reviews
LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- What if our "junk DNA" held a code that could unlock something never before seen? Trillionaire businessman Gregory Hopkins is on the brink of such a discovery, one that will change humanity permanently. Through the assistance of geneticist Dr. Vander, he's found a way to build a sentient entity using the rare "R-code" existing in a mere 666 people on the planet. While the costs are high and the end result not without consequences, no obstacle will prevent Gregory from harvesting this newly discovered data. Taking readers on a thought-provoking journey through the mind of a genius with a Messiah complex willing to commit genocide for the sake of science, Hawkins (Warframe) pairs a thrilling and intelligent story with the beautiful, intense detail of Ienco's (Mechanism) illustrations, making the horrors of this new reality vividly real.
VERDICT Introducing concepts that feel hauntingly genuine and have the potential to actualize, this first volume in a new series leaves readers eager for more. Highly recommended for anyone interested in science, the future, and the future of both.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
