Piatigorsky's debut novel is a suspenseful thriller mixing the biological sciences - and politics. It is a rollicking tale... and deserves a wide audience. (Kensington Park Friends of the Library, November 2015)
A wonderful book for those who love creativity, science and the great gifts of serendipity. (Barbara Esstman, author, The Other Anna and Night Ride Home)
In this original and provocative combination of science and fiction, Joram Piatigorsky brings to life evidence of Dr. Johnson's observation that Truth can be made more accessible when draped in the robes of Fiction. (Warren Poland, MD, Psychoanalyst, author, Melting the Darkness)
