Transfection

How far would you go to end a war? Boston, 1985. MIT biochemistry student Dom Haskins’s summer plans have been turned upside-down. Instead of helping his Nobel Prize-winning professor with research, Dom, his professor, and two of his classmates have been recruited by a mysterious CIA agent to fulfill a seemingly impossible task: to produce a drug that will grant its user superhuman strength, speed, and stamina . . . which will be used as a weapon to help finally end the Cold War. As the group toils away, Dom forges new friendships and navigates his first romantic relationship. As these alliances strengthen and deepen, he finds himself questioning not only the ethics of their mission, but also what his future holds. After the group accomplishes the unimaginable and creates the drug, chaos ensues when an ex-KGB radical is inadvertently led right to it. With this weapon now in enemy hands, Dom and his friends must race against time to stop this foe’s nefarious plans, all while confronting the devastating consequences of their reckless decision to play God. Transfection is a thrilling blend of science fiction, espionage, romance, and 1980s nostalgia that keeps its reader gripped from its first page to its action-packed conclusion.
