When two rival corporations go to war, their battles will have devastating repercussions for the entire world.
John Mend is the president of Quality Seed, a family business that has grown to be one of the largest seed suppliers in the world. Mend is intent on expanding his father's legacy and putting their main competitor, AGWorld, out of business. He has a secret weapon to do just that-Dr. Barry Orr.
Orr, a brilliant but troubled scientist, has created a genetically modified strain of corn. Despite the protestations and warnings of his friend Vivek Satchinanda, Orr ignores safety protocols. He and Mend are determined to make their corn a success.
Their rivals at AGWorld have their own trick up their sleeve. The president, Eric Feldberg, has a spy inside Quality Seed. As he schemes to get his hands on Orr's modified corn seeds, his reckless ambition will have catastrophic consequences. Something is lurking in the genetic sequence of the new corn. It could devastate humankind.
In this corporate thriller, author and medical expert Prakash Seshadri explores a troubling issue in today's world. GMOs are everywhere. Can we really trust the corporations that are creating them?
