This book is a wonderful read, full of
information, excitement and so real that it is hard to separate the
fact from the fiction. It has mystery, suspense, good guys and
girls, bad guys, disasters and romance. Who could ask for
anything more?
Dyodyne Labs is a research facility in
New Jersey with main offices in New York City. They have been
working on a new technology that would secretly track people with
amazing accuracy. It is a computer system that is so minuscule
that it is invisible to the naked eye. The system with the code
name DaNA is transmitted into a person's blood stream as a very mild
virus that passes the virus on to all who come in contact with the
host. The Federal Government realizes that this system is the
ideal way to keep track of a criminal's known accomplices and bring
down a local drug lord. But, when a terrorist attack
obliterates most of New York City and surrounding burroughs and into
New Jersey, the Department of Homeland Security jumps on the band
wagon and orders the Lab scientists to use the untested (remember
that word) system to find the persons responsible for the
attack.
What they find is mind-boggling. It seems
that there are six nuclear bombs hidden in six US cities and they are
being controlled by a group that is part of a much larger worldly
scheme. As the scientists race to track down the terrorists,
they find that there may be another menace. The original system
is altering itself and may become impossible to hold in check.
The
Dyodyne Experiment had me from the first chapter. My thanks to
the authors for making the scientific information easy to understand
instead of using charts and graphs that a poor librarian like me
couldn't fathom. It is said that all of us that were around at
the time can remember exactly where we were when John F. Kennedy was
shot and more recently when planes aimed at the Twin Towers.
But, suppose there is something much more horrendous out there
waiting for us. It reminded me a little of Michael
Crichton's Jurrasic Park. It was supposed to be a theme
park for all to enjoy but in mid-story it was discovered that the
dinosaurs could breed. They weren't supposed to be able to do
that because certain male DNA was left out of these humungous
clones. But, frog DNA was used and apparently frogs have both
male and female DNA. Sometimes it's not so good to fool with
Mother Nature. But, all that aside. I really enjoyed
reading the Dyodyne Experiment and am hoping that Mr. Doulgeris and
Mr. Santoro will get busy on their next book.
