'Deadly Cure' is the sequel to another novel, 'Lethal Harvest', by the same co-authors (reviewed in EN, January 2001). It too aims to deal with the ethical issues raised by developments in biogenetics from a Christian perspective.
The storyline is gripping, containing all the ingredients one expects to find in a novel. I did find the rapid flitting from one scene to another, then back again, in the later chapters rather overplayed. For readers unfamiliar with medical jargon and abbreviations, or who find detailed descriptions of operations disconcerting, sections of this novel may prove daunting. This ought not to dissuade you from reading Deadly Cure though.
