A genetic discovery unearths a devastating secret in the New York Times–bestselling author’s medical thriller “worthy of Michael Crichton” (Publishers Weekly). When Rick Hayden’s brother Keith disappears, he turns to medical examiner Laura Fanning to help find him. An NYU zoologist, Keith had been researching the so-called “God Gene” that played a key role in human evolution—specifically in the development of brain power and creativity. But after an exciting discovery in East Africa, Keith destroyed his results and vanished. Rick and Laura’s search takes them to an uncharted island in the Mozambique Channel, where they come up against a world-shattering secret—and powerful enemies who have their own devious plans for it. In The God Gene, F. Paul Wilson continues his mind-bending ICE trilogy that began with Panacea.

Jack is back. Wilson never said he was through with Repairman Jack. He said he was through turning in a new novel every year. He also said when a story came along that was right for Jack, he’d write it. The Last Christmas is that story. It’s late December between Ground Zero and Fatal Error, a winter of discontent for Jack who’s perhaps spending too much time hanging at Julio’s. An old contact, Edward Burkes, convinces him to take on a missing-person fix. As usual, nothing is as it seems, and the missing person isn’t exactly a person. In fact, it’s like nothing anyone has ever seen. And in the middle of all this, the mysterious Madame de Medici hires him to safeguard a valuable object. Simple, right? Not even close. Yep, Jack is back and, as usual, weird trouble is on his heels.

So many secrets in Nespodee Springs…the biggest is revealed when Rhys and Daley track down the second half of the Pendry film and learn the secrets of the clan’s Tesla tower and the catastrophic details of the plan to bring the Visitors back to Earth. But the insidious malady known as “the horrors” remains a mystery, claiming more and more victims every day. Daley and Pard learn they can cure it – if only the powers that be will allow them. Daley finds herself in an ironic situation: For the first time in her life she’s trying to play it straight – help people instead of scam them – and no one will let her. In the past, when she’s spun a web of lies, the marks lapped it up like honey. Now, when she’s telling the truth – a life-saving truth – no one believes her. And meanwhile, over the Salton Sea, an ominous darkness is growing…
