In the year 2059 this dream is at last within our grasp. But as biologic engineers finally achieve total control over the fundamental mechanics of life and the ability to change the course of human evolution, will this awesome power alter the meaning of love, the nature of relationships and society, and even the very definition of what it means to be human?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet in world obsessed with the perfection of the human form, the weight of such questions have yet to trouble the global consciousness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch concerns are most decidedly not on the mind of Amadé Bertrand, a young, investigative journalist with the New York Times. Amadé is worried that her career is stalling out after a meteoric – and some would say undeserved – rise to the top of her profession. As Amadé ponders her next career move, an anonymous and cryptic tip lands in her inbox about GeneTech, the largest and most powerful of the new generation of bioengineering companies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmadé’s quest to uncover the meaning of this mysterious message leads her to Whitfield Gray, a senior GeneTech executive with a dark secret that if exposed could destroy the company and threaten the biotech revolution. Drawn to the powerful and mysterious Whitfield, Amadé must decide between a burgeoning love for the brash, young executive and her career ambition as she uncovers a web of intrigue that leads from the GeneTech board room to the White House and beyond. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGene Pool: Unnatural Selection is the first book in a four-part science fiction series that explores a world where biological engineering becomes the master science influencing every aspect of society.
