A genetic discovery unearths a devastating secret in the New York Times–bestselling author’s medical thriller “worthy of Michael Crichton” (Publishers Weekly).
When Rick Hayden’s brother Keith disappears, he turns to medical examiner Laura Fanning to help find him. An NYU zoologist, Keith had been researching the so-called “God Gene” that played a key role in human evolution—specifically in the development of brain power and creativity. But after an exciting discovery in East Africa, Keith destroyed his results and vanished.
Rick and Laura’s search takes them to an uncharted island in the Mozambique Channel, where they come up against a world-shattering secret—and powerful enemies who have their own devious plans for it. In The God Gene, F. Paul Wilson continues his mind-bending ICE trilogy that began with Panacea.
