PRAISE FOR THE CADUCEUS CODES

AVID SCIFI READER

Captivating story that illustrates the promise and perils of the AI/genomics convergence. But it's far from a dry lesson on the science. Instead, we delve deep into the inner lives of morally conflicted scientists, monarchs with hubristic visions, and hard-boiled (recovering) gangsters. On the lighter side, we have lots of romance and teenager antics. ... Definitely worth a read.

DR. M M SPRENGNETHER

Impacts of genetic engineering on our near future are intermingled with dark visions of society’s past and future. Can we save ourselves from ourselves?
