254 pages , available in different formats
Genre: Fiction
- Medical Thriller
With friends and relatives fighting on social media over
the election results and the Trump Victory or the Indian government’s overnight demonetization drive, the terrorist
attacks in Kashmir , Nagaland, etc. everything seem to be spiraling into the
negative. Happy, sane people were fast
becoming angry, temporarily insane people. I truly needed a break from the conversations when
I found Sciarra’s “The Genius Virus.”
What if you cannot get diseases? What if you can be
killed only by physical demolition like being blown up? In addition, what if
your IQ is superlative but your EQ is very little? You are a Spock and Iron Man combination with
a conscience while your boss is more of a Dr. Moriarty and you are working for
him? You attempt to heal all diseases
which you know your boss doesn’t want as that would cut his fund flow through
every drug you create. Will your boss find out before you are done? John Sciarra
spins an intriguing page turner in his just released book, “The Genius Virus.”
Tracing historically reported random events like the
4H virus outbreak and the HIV outbreak in the 80s, the death of Rosalind Elsie
Franklin who discovered the double helix structure of the DNA and as result of
taking pictures of the DNA structure contracted cancer and died at the early age of 37, but Watson and Crick stole her
effort for which they received the Nobel Prize, the crash of a plane in the 80s
which was just “shocking news” then, and the globalization of the pharmaceutical
industry today, are they all connected?
It is not often you read an intelligent page turner
with history and medicinal discoveries backing it up. The Genius Virus is one such thriller and can
surely make you wonder next time what you are getting yourself into when you
pop up in innocuous looking pill.
A must read.
