Description

Middle-east terrorists capture polyploid boys from their village to fight as warriors in their country. At five, the boys look like diploid men, but will soon be nine-foot giants. Thanks to an influenza infection of their diploid parents, the boys carry genes for healing wounds and regenerating limbs, and for making vitamin C to keep them well. How did kidnappers enter Polysomia that night? Did the gate guard help them find the boys’ apartments? Will government agencies help in finding the boys? Meanwhile, the body of a diploid girl along with a large sum of money is found buried in the woods near the guardhouse. Did a polyploid kill the girl? Is the money a pay off from the kidnappers? Polyploids are quarantined, and with no from law enforcement must hire an investigator. He takes two polyploids with him on the search—a six-year old Iranian boy who speaks Farsi, a full grown polyploid with violent tendencies. Rogue Genes is also available in eBook format from Amazon for $2.99. Published 2014.
