  “This is a Robin Cookish type of thriller. It intertwines questions about healthcare insurance, patients with debilitating diseases, Nazi hunting, mind reading, DNA, and Neanderthals. Sawyer covers all these topics well and throws in some highly likeable characters too. Pierre Tardival is a geneticist who has to deal with Huntington’s disease, which will disable him both physically and mentally until it kills him. He has other significant issues to deal with such as someone who is trying to murder him, a health insurance company that wants to invade his privacy and a daughter who is unlike any other child on Earth.
  
  Other characters include Tardival’s wife Molly, a psychologist who is also able to read minds, Avi, a Nazi hunter, and the mysterious professor Bulian who Tardival works for. The story tackle many issues that are still prevalent today such as patient’s privacy rights and the right to have health insurance.
  
  Sawyer is a multitalented writer that seems to never run out of ideas!

  “Very interesting and unusual story. Yes, Sawyer is Canadian and Canada is better than the US in all his novels, but if you can set that aside and allow him the little digs here and there, it is a fun story with a little conspiracy and espionage thrown in with some interesting sci-fi.”
