Dr. Cassandra Victoria Gates, a biologist and geneticist, led the development of hybrid soldiers designed as biological weapons. Her groundbreaking research proved successful, providing the military with unprecedented strength. However, little did she know that her research will come at a cost so great that her life and as well as the lives of those she love will be in danger. In a desperate bid to escape, Dr. Gates went into hiding. Yet, her enemies were relentless, pursuing her and her research. Her groundbreaking work prompted military scientists worldwide to attempt to replicate her techniques, but without her notes, their efforts failed. Instead, they inadvertently created uncontrollable monsters with minds of their own, resulting in the deaths of innocent people. Will Lieutenant Martin Wright find her in time? Can Dr. Gates survive the horrors that lie ahead? Will she uncover the secrets of her past, or will her research unleash a beast within her that could either save the nation or destroy it?

2012 SILVER MEDAL WINNER in the Indie Awards (from the Independent Publishers Association). When the heart sees more keenly than the eye, beauty is unexpectedly found. Gen is a teen-age woman. She is also a bio-warfare research project, designed by Col. Jack Eberhard. Born at Redstone Military Laboratories inside a quarantine unit rated Biohazard Level Four, Gen’s body harbors billions of microscopic organisms that have mutated from her genetically altered cells. The tiny entities in Gen’s tissues control life at the molecular level and Eberhard weekly tests their ability to heal the simulated combat wounds he inflicts on her. When a deadly threat forces Gen to escape the lab, she discovers that her marvelous power to reconstruct living tissue, from proteins to cells to whole organs, enables her to transform herself bodily into any animal whose DNA she collects through a simple touch. While in the form of a dolphin, Gen saves dolphin researcher Cade Seaborne from drowning. Her heartfelt attraction to him compels her to spontaneously shape-shift back into human form; but the morphing is incomplete and Cade encounters Gen as a woman with her head and face hideously deformed. As Gen struggles with her dilemma of falling in love with a kind-hearted man who nonetheless regards her as pitifully ugly, the evolving microscopic life-forms inside her compel her to complete a frightening journey to fulfill their mysterious mission. Meanwhile, Eberhard has tracked down Gen and he’s sending in Special Forces to carry out a priority-one Executive Order: capture and destroy his dangerous experiment. When Cade at last recognizes beauty behind the mask of a beast, he’ll give his life to protect the unusual woman he cherishes. And he learns that love has its own transformative power. Michael Crichton meets Hans Christian Anderson in this romantic thriller with the brains of science fiction and the heart of a fairy tale.
