Bad Seed

Fiction. California Interest. BAD SEED is a business/legal thriller featuring the brilliant, beautiful research scientist Aurora Blanc. It follows her sensational rise from penniless student to potentially-sociopathic Silicon Valley billionaire. BAD SEED reads as if Michael Crichton had teamed up with John Grisham. Both an important work of fiction and a genuine page turner, BAD SEED explores our 21st century concerns about cutting-edge GMO science. This book announces a new fiction talent and will do for genetically-modified food what Jaws did for beach holidays. In Aurora Blanc, the Instagram Age finds its ideal villain, and in Rabbi Smith, her implacable, humble adversary, we locate a new kind of American hero. "Fascinating and somewhat frightening...a corking good read. It will make you think."--Jim Bohannon, The Jim Bohannon Show, Westwood One "BAD SEED reveals a great life lesson gone wrong."--NPR
