Review: Genetic Memory--Fact Or Fiction?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 12, 2012
This book depends upon the scientific premise that memories of past lives are so persistent that they can become embedded in the DNA passed down to future generations.  Descendants would undertake drug treatments to retrieve these memories, so they could reveal them via the eyes and thoughts of their ancestors. The McGuffin in this story is a relic taken from the wooden crosses on which two thieves died next to Jesus.  The author does not explain why a relic from two criminals should have special powers.  He admits that the relic was not from the True Cross of Jesus.  What then makes it so powerful?  Nothing at all.  So the premise of the book is for naught, and the plot is a fraud.  Is this devil worship?  If not, it surely comes close.
