In a future closer than we think, a cutting-edge Vancouver genetic engineering corporation has unlocked the ultimate prize: Mortal CODE, a groundbreaking DNA technology that flirts with human immortality... but at a devastating price.
Zara Acker, a brilliant and strikingly beautiful former GeneX geneticist now lives in the shadows after her groundbreaking research was twisted to develop deadly bioweapons. But Zara's self-imposed exile is nullified when her 17-year-old daughter Bibi is stricken with a mysterious genetic terminal illness for which there is no known cure. Desperate to save Bibi's life, Zara is forced to return to GeneX and confront the past she thought she'd escaped.
Re-entering the dangerous world of corporate genetic engineering, Zara discovers GeneX lead scientist Nicholas Draeven's true plan; to use the Mortal CODE to forge an elite class of immortals, leaving natural-born humans to suffer in their wake.
Zara teams up with Declan Lansmore, a former GeneX colleague who once exposed Draeven's schemes and is now seeking revenge. Together, they navigate a perilous underworld of genetic espionage, high-stakes chases, and covert operations, determined to destroy the Mortal CODE before it's too late.
But as Zara uncovers more about the people around her, she begins to suspect that Declan may not be who he claims to be-and that she might be walking into a conspiracy that runs deeper and more treacherous than she ever imagined.
Mortal CODE is an addictive, dystopian technothriller novel with surprisingly complex character arcs and shocking plot twists, where the price of immortality may cost humanity its soul. Caught in a race against time, Zara faces an impossible choice - will she use the Mortal CODE to save Bibi... or will she have to destroy it all, sacrificing her beloved daughter to protect humanity's future?
Smart, intense, and unforgettable-Mortal Code is a must-read for sci-fi fans craving both action and depth. - Amazon Review
