Intervention: the Pandora Virus W Rr Munro 2.º edición

The pay's meagre and job security's a joke, not good in the comatose economy of 2033.

But he could never have known it'd be life threatening.

Ayden Walker turned his back on a fast tracked academic career to follow in his parents' footsteps. As a field researcher, he does what he can to protect wilderness areas from the pressures of climate change and 8.5 billion people, and he keeps an eye on the big Pharmas gaming the system to squeeze ever more profits from their latest GM cure-alls.

Then he meets the enigmatic and strangely familiar William Hanford.

William tells Ayden the truth about his parents' genetic research all those years ago, about what they did to William... and to Ayden.

And all his life, his parents kept it from him, lied to him.

Struggling to understand and forgive, Ayden digs into the past, but the trail points back to the present, to William and to his biotech company, Genenco.

Could Genenco be attempting a breathtakingly bold solution to problems the world has failed to address for decades? Or is it a wildly dangerous experiment, a threat to all of humanity?

Should Ayden even try to stop them? Or is the risk justified?

As he peels back the layers of deception, Ayden realises that he's under surveillance and putting his family at risk.

He's forced into an uneasy alliance with Major Henri Soulandt of Army Military Intelligence, and together they try to discover just how far the forces behind Genenco are prepared to go.

Then things get complicated. And deadly.

Intervention - The Pandora Virus, has been described as an intelligent page-turner, a technothriller that asks hard questions.
