About this listen

Bestseller in Hard Sci Fi! Bestseller in Genetic Engineering Sci Fi!
A mysterious inheritance. A life-altering discovery. One mother’s impossible choice.

When eccentric scientist Dr. Elliot Rayburn dies unexpectedly, he leaves philosophy professor Nora Binford an unusual bequest: eight cages of lab rats and a flash drive containing secret research into radically extending human life.
The data could be a miracle—offering hope for her teenage son’s rare genetic illness and revolutionizing medicine for millions. Or it could unleash dangerous, irreversible changes to the human genome.
Nora is no scientist—she’s a widowed mom who teaches philosophy and ethics at a beach-town community college. But now she’s caught in a storm of competing forces: corporate giants hungry for control, mysterious threats closing in, and the fierce needs of her own rebellious child. As the pressure mounts, Nora must decide: is this discovery a gift to humanity, a perilous mistake ... or a Pandora’s box better left unopened?
A gripping blend of science, suspense, and ethical dilemma, this novel is perfect for fans of Upgrade, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and the books of Michael Crichton.
