Genus (The Ancestral Code)

Evolution—rewritten. When a prominent eco-activist turns up dead in Portland, FBI agent Mandy Brannick is assigned to the case. What she uncovers isn't just a murder—it's a message. And a whisper of something impossible buried in the evidence. With the help of a reclusive geneticist and a survivor who’s next on the list, Mandy is pulled into a hidden world of black-budget labs, corporate sabotage, and accelerated evolution. As the body count rises, Mandy must confront the unthinkable: this isn’t about the past. It’s about what comes next.
