Headhunted by a national conglomerate to engineer humans for deep space travel, geneticist Ingrid Milner can read between the lines. She is wanted for a Frankenstein project; to fabricate a genetic werewolf. She works in secret, but she is not unknown. Set against her is the enigmatic Josh Hall, a fire-breathing minister with a sordid past who will stick at nothing, not even his own destruction, to bring her down. As her creation comes together molecule by painful molecule, unrelenting forces build against each other. God, Nature, the power of human insanity and hubris coalesce in an overwhelming wave. But as the forces collide, a new player emerges, one part and parcel of the charged darkness of madness and arrogance. Nothing so powerful can be contained, and it will lash out.
