About this listen
Carolyn’s parents did not, after all, make genomics history by synthesizing her genome in a lab. She has known she is the “Human Hoax” ever since a high school genetics exercise revealed she has trisomy X - a chromosomal abnormality - yet no synthetically constructed genome would have such clear traces of natural conception.
Many years later, as a molecular biologist, Carolyn hopes her colleagues never learn of her embarrassing origins. But when someone ransacks her office and lab, she finds professional embarrassment is the least of her worries. Someone believes she has the results of her parents’ last, secret experiments, and is willing to kill to get them. But all she has from her parents are their genes - can she find what else they may have left her before somebody else does?
In a not-so-distant society, where corporations wield as much power as nations and the line between corporate employee and state authority is blurred, the chase is on. Carolyn may have just too little time at hand to unravel the mystery of her parents’ final days and to realize the deep consequences for the future of mankind.
This fast-paced novel is followed by an extensive science chapter where the author provides a nontechnical primer on modern genetics and on the speculative biology behind Carolyn’s code.

It has been nearly 100 years since the Apollo moon landings, when Jack and Vladimir, two astronauts on a mission to Venus, discover a mysterious void related to indigenous life on the planet. Subsequently more voids are detected on Earth, Mars, Titan, and, quite ominously, inside a planetoid emerging from the Kuiper belt. Jack is sent to investigate the voids in the Solar System and intercept the planetoid - which, as becomes increasingly clear, is inhabited by alien life forms.

She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are a hoax and wants nothing to do with him.

The brilliant teacher at the École Nationale d’Administration, who trained some of France’s best and brightest as future prime ministers and presidents, vanished ten years ago, presumably from Paris. This ten-year-old mystery inspires a bet—one that Enzo Macleod, a biologist teaching in Toulouse, France, instead of pursuing a brilliant career in forensics back home in Scotland, can ill afford to lose.

got totally lost! A degree in microbiology or genetics might be a tad useful in understanding the book’s contents.
I liked Lucy Rayner’s narration - her range of male & female voices & accents is fantastic and was the only thing that kept me listening for as long as I did. I got totally lost, however, in the scientific terms, theories, & jargon for microbiology, genetics etc. The detailed descriptions & explanations were overwhelming. At one point I nearly phoned my niece who has a doctorate in microbiology for help. The thriller elements of the story did manage to be quite exciting but then would be drowned in the aforementioned scientific details. In the end I gave up.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
