Change is inevitable, and it is coming to the modern world as it had for a thousand centuries. A mysterious force, hidden in the shadows of the cosmos, holds sway over the destiny of all living things, and the final chapter for mankind is about to be written. A superior species, borne of humans, is poised to assume dominion over the earth. Enter The Gene Trap. This manuscript is the second in a series of techno-thrillers by Dr. Stephen Berberich. Similar in story line to a Michael Crichton novel, the books plot depicts the struggle of contemporary man in his effort to avoid the inexorable consequences of evolution. As the story unfolds, John Lynch and his girlfriend, Gigi Thompson, are on their way to Pittsburgh to begin their new careersJohn as a medical intern and Gigi as geneticist at the prestigious Hawthorne Institute. Though they remain perplexed by the mysterious disappearance of their best friends, Peter Gault and Kate Donavon (main characters of Berberichs first novel, No Known Species), John and Gigi find themselves consumed by the rigors of their new positions. The last thing they need is to be caught in a titanic struggle for human survivala struggle that would pit them against Peters clan of mutants. Influenced by unexpected events, the couple is drawn into a sinister plot hatched by a worldwide cabal of intellectual elites who are determined to eliminate the gifted species. It is a move that could solidify mankinds rightful place of primacy. Though the elites scheme seems flawless, unforeseen mistakes begin to occur. A deadly synthetic germ is accidently released into the biosphere, creating a plague the likes of which the world has never known. Worse yet, a deadly trap lurks within secret recesses of the human genome. It is genetic time bomb that will be detonated if scientists attempt to tinker with the essence of mankinds DNA. The Gene Trap details the age-old struggle between the old and the new, with Gigi and John caught somewhere between the two worlds. The final act makes clear the meaning of the genesis cycle.
