Powerful, shadowy forces behind the scenes are always involved in covert
activities of which you haven’t the slightest idea…
In the case of the Unites States government, such activities centered on the
efforts of the armed forces in the 1960’s and 70’s to create the perfect human
soldier. How did they plan to do so? By splicing human genes with the best
available genes from different species across the planet – even going so far as to
combine the genes of both humans and animals. Despite their best efforts,
government researchers failed to develop any of the resulting embryos – save
two…
Michael and Zainal Emassi are both born on January 6, 1979, the only
successful results of the government’s controversial experiment. Of the two, Zainal
proves to be the superior mental and physical specimen, so much so that an elite,
top secret para-military unit, the Dragons, is created just for him. Rounded out
with top human soldiers from the SEALs, Rangers, and Deltas, the Dragons have
one mission only: to wage tactical warfare against dangerous terrorist cells around
the world.
Their efforts always prove exceptional, and they never fail – until one
fateful day when Zainal and the rest of the Dragon crew are ambushed on a
hostage recovery excursion in Norway. The unit is caught completely off guard,
and Zainal is ultimately captured by the terrorist cell responsible for the surprise
attack. Beaten mercilessly to within an inch of his life, Zainal manages to survive
the ordeal and is eventually recovered by American forces, who seek to restore
him back to health.
It quickly becomes apparent to the powers that be, though, that the
Dragons’ ambush is hardly the result of random luck, and they soon launch an
intense investigation to discover the responsible party/parties who engineered the
set-up – the last thing they expect to learn, though, is that someone within their
own ranks may ultimately be pulling the deceptive strings…
G.E.N.I. is an action-packed, all-engrossing literary thrill ride. With it, Lillian
Skamsar follows faithfully in the footsteps of James Patterson and Robert Ludlum
before her with her innate ability to keep the reader turning page after page in
breathless anticipation. Her attention to detail is relentless, and her masterful
storytelling is both compelling and probing, making for a highly entertaining – and
ultimately rewarding – read.
Combining taut suspense, thick intrigue, and ever-unfolding drama,
G.E.N.I. is a superbly crafted, welcome addition to the world of political mystery
thrillers. Highly recommended.
I hope you'll want to read my book. If you already have, I'd love to hear from you.
