" Eternal Sonata is a brilliant exploration of the many challenges and opportunities our species will face as the exponential growth of real-world technology moves us toward immortality." --Ray Kurzweil, Inventor, Futurist, and author of The Singularity Is Near " Eternal Sonata is a meditation on being human in an age when technology promises to change everything. It will pique your curiosity in science you never thought possible, and make your heart race with the twists and turns of a thriller. A fascinating, joyous read." --Debora Spar, President of Barnard College and New York Times bestselling author of Wonder Women: Sex, Power, and the Quest for Perfection "Jamie Metzl has written a wonderful novel that imagines a future where real world scientific breakthroughs promise massive extension of the human lifetime and the quest for immortality becomes deadly. Filled with brilliant insights on science, philosophy, politics, and human relations, it is a nail-biting thriller with a driving plot that will grip you from the very first page." -Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus, Harvard Law School, and bestselling author of thirty-one books "Taut, tense, and relentlessly exciting with a spine-chilling plot spanning the globe . . . Eternal Sonata establishes Metzl as the first great thriller writer of the genetics age." --August Cole, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Ghost Fleet " Eternal Sonata is an exhilarating, must-read thriller, set at the combustive intersection of technology and geopolitics. Like all great science fiction, it paints a disturbing future from entirely plausible facts." --Fred Kempe, New York Times best-selling author of Berlin 1961 and President, Atlantic Council Praise for Genesis Code : "A thrill ride through the dangerous intersection where the human genetics revolution and aggressive big power rivalries meet." --Richard Clarke, former White House terrorism czar and New York Times bestselling author of Against All Enemies " Genesis Code is both a high-octane thriller exploring what could happen if international politics drive the human genetic revolution and a compelling love story touching the core of what it means to be a good old-fashioned human being. Read this book and let the conversation about the future of our species begin." --Sanjay Gupta, CNN chief medical correspondent and New York Times -bestselling author " Genesis Code is a highly original and thoroughly gripping account of a nightmare that may yet prove all too real.

A thrilling tale written with heart-pounding authority." --Kati Marton, author of the New York Times bestseller, Paris--A Love Story "A spellbinding odyssey into our genetic future. Jamie Metzl is a supreme storyteller who entrances his readers with deep and surprising insights into science, politics, and the human condition." --Eric Garcetti, mayor of Los Angeles "An old-fashioned hard-boiled thriller . . . Metzl knows his science, and the detail is elegantly done while the novel moves at a nonstop pace over 41 days. Metzl provides a believable look at a not-too-distant future where science, politics, religion, economics and the ability to report the "truth" are all inseparably bound together." -- Kirkus Reviews "Metzl offers up a tense vision of the near future with this science fiction thriller." -- Publishers Weekly "Metzl... has a strong command of the financial, political and bioethical questions at the heart of his fast-paced dystopian novel." -- Washington Post "The plot is stellar and well paced. . . . The science on the DNA enhancement research is fascinating. . . . Fans of sci-fi and mystery will definitely enjoy Genesis Code ." -- Portland Book Review "Riveting...a real page-turner...a vivid, exciting and well-paced thriller...with a message:...that we must all learn to use wisely the scientific advances that our greatest geniuses uncover." --World Policy Blog
