Review of The Zyne Project by Sara Brooke
5 Stars
Research science gone wrong…or something more insidious? Dr.
Dan Johns, medical researcher, believes he has found the solution to permanent
hair colour: gene therapy. Zyne Corporation loves the concept, and sets up a
highly-publicized human trial, using six celebrities from various
fields-surfer, socialite, entrepreneur, athlete, surgeon, Internet travel
maven-to promote the new use of gene modification to, essentially, “fix” what
Nature didn’t do right. Shaving heads, a few infusions, and everybody’s going
to grow the new hair colour of choice-and for those suffering receding
hairlines and thinning hair, maybe better hair growth than ever before. Right?
Not quite. For the virus carrying the new gene modifications isn’t quite what
it seems, nor exactly what is claimed for it: instead, it’s more, very much
more, and the results aren’t pretty.
I really enjoyed this story; there’s plenty of gore for the
gore-hungry readers among us, and poetic justice as well. Ms,. Brooke does a
marvelous job of carefully unfolding the plot, giving us subtle clues along the
way, but waiting to reveal the full story-and then, smacks us with a denouement
which will have readers applauding.
