The Han Agent: Microes, cartea 1

Autor Amy Rogers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 sep 2017
**Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Finalist** Modern biotechnology propels an ancient ethnic rivalry to a terrifying new level… In the 1930s, Japanese scientists in China committed heinous crimes in their quest for the ultimate biological weapon. The war ended. Their mission did not. Eighty years later, Japanese-American scientist Amika Nakamura won't let rules stand between her and scientific glory. When the ambitious young virologist defies a ban on the genetic manipulation of influenza, she's expelled from the university. Desperate to save her career, she accepts a position with a pharmaceutical company in Tokyo. Soon after, a visit to a disputed island entangles her in a high-profile geopolitical struggle between Japan and China. Applying her singular expertise with bird flu in a risky experiment may be the only way out. Little does she know that Japanese ultra-nationalists and a legacy of unpunished war crimes lurk in the shadows, manipulating people, politics, and science. But DNA doesn't lie. Amika uncovers a shocking truth: a deadly virus is about to put the "gene" in genocide. Praise for THE HAN AGENT: "Amy Rogers's latest medical thriller is as exciting as it is frighteningly realistic. It could be tomorrow's headline. Here is a story fraught with tension, and threaded through with scientific accuracy and speculation that will leave you stunned."-James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sigma Force series "In a stunning 'what-if' author-scientist Amy Rogers resurrects the idea of Unit 731, Japan's notorious wartime biological weapons division, weaving together a diabolical tale of science, genocide, and modern-day bio-terror. Sobering, suspenseful, and absolutely chilling."-Barry Lancet, award-winning author of The Spy Across the Table and Tokyo Kill "In this gripping thriller by Amy Rogers, World War II-era history, ultranationalism, and biological genocide intertwine. The Han Agent is a surefire genre hit, fast-paced and full of elements of mystery and adventure. Science fiction hounds in particular will dig the information about DNA sequencing, virus detection, and how plagues can spread." -Foreword Reviews magazine "The Han Agent will get your heart pounding and your blood boiling. Putting huge swaths of humanity in its crosshairs, this pressure cooker of a thriller portrays with chilling realism how individuals can use specialized scientific knowledge for good or evil."-J.E. Fishman, bestselling author of Primacy and the Bomb Squad NYC series

Notă biografică

Amy Rogers, MD, PhD, is a Harvard-educated scientist, professor, award-winning author, and critic who switched from teaching university biology classes to reviewing, writing, and publishing science-themed thriller fiction. Her novels Reversion, The Han Agent, and Petroplague use real science and medicine to create plausible, frightening scenarios in the style of Michael Crichton. Compelling characters and fictionalized science-not science fiction-make her books page-turners that seamlessly blend reality and imagination. Her nonfiction articles about science and engineering behind the scenes of everyday life first appeared in the Inside Arden newspaper and are now collected in her book Science in the Neighborhood. During the pandemic crisis of 2020, she became a trusted source of calm, accurate, accessible science information to a grateful audience through her blog at AmyRogers.com, as well as public speaking with Q&A (via zoom, of course).Dr. Rogers is a sought-after speaker who delivers lectures around the country. A member of International Thriller Writers, she served as a judge for ITW's Thriller Awards and has twice been a panelist at ThrillerFest in New York; a panel moderator at Left Coast Crime; keynote speaker at the University of the Pacific Conference on Creative Writing, and the Renaissance Society Forum; guest author at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and many other venues for writers, readers, and the general public.
