The Genesis Code, by Lisa Von Biela4.5 stars, rounded up for an excellent debut novel.This is NOT a casual, pick-up-and-put-down read.  This is a compulsive, read-until-you-reach-the-final-page book!  Lisa has a style that reminds me somewhat of a combination between James Rollins and Michael Creighton.  What makes this story all the more horrifying in its implications is the question it raises--could this actually be happening now, unbeknownst to us?Mark Weston begins in a high-pressure job at OneMarket, intent on working off debt accumulated by his now-deceased father-in-law.  What he doesn't anticipate is a new, secretive, technology that the company is developing....and his own role in its process.A captivating, edge-of-your-seat novel!  My only minor complaint is that the "final" of sorts seemed a bit too short for my liking.  Still, that didn't detract from this excellent debut novel from Lisa Von Biela.  I'll be watching for her next release. :)
