Intelligent Design or Darwin's Evolution: New Thriller

There are a lot of conspiracy theories in the world, ranging from the Apollo Moon-Landing Hoax, which suggests that some or all elements of the Apollo missions were faked by NASA, to the Death of Marilyn Monroe. Some of the most exciting recent books that I have read, such as The Map Thief, and The Forgery of Venus have involved conspiracy theories in their plot. However, a lot of recent thrillers that I have seen on the shelves involve some of the same old conspiracy theories with little or no new plot twists. Not very exciting for an avid reader like me.

Recently, though, I had the pleasure of reading DNAby seasoned author W. Craig Reed. Combining a number of intricate plot twists, individual and social enemies, and a unique take on one of the most controversial of the well known conspiracy theories, DNAis a fresh take on a common plot.

Ever since The Andromeda Strain(1969), by Michael Crichton, and it’s techno-thriller plot documenting the efforts of a team of scientists investigating a deadly extraterrestrial microorganism that rapidly and fatally clots human blood, numerous other thrillers have attempted to copy this plot line. Reed, on the other hand, avoids the mistake of attempting to rehash this classic, and rather takes the conspiracy component of the thriller one step further – all the way back to the origins of the human race!
