This review is based on an Advance Uncorrected Proof supplied as part of the Amazon Vine program.

Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury is a genetic researcher. Previously she worked at NIH, but for the past three years she has owned and operated QLS, a private research firm. Their primary work involves research on fruit flies, trying to isolate a gene to extend life. Kathleen's parents were archeologists who were murdered for an amazing find in Iraq when she was quite small. Kathleen's grandfather lives in a home with an extreme case of Alzheimers.

When an old colleague of Kathleen's parents contacts her with some history and an interesting gift, Kathleen is rocketed on an amazing course through discovery, betrayal, and murder.

This book is full of science (pseudo-science?), intrigue, religious overtones and ancient history. Oh, and a CIA assassin. The story is fun and engaging. The characters are believable.

After loving the story all along, I got quite worried with 40 or so pages left. The end rocked me, and was very good.

I enjoyed the archeologyx, DNA genetics, CIA, F.B.I. and all the characters mixed up in this mystery. It was great to have a woman scientist, who's attractive, as the protagonist. Looked forward to getting back to reading every day.
Good read. Had to pay attention to keep up with the time frame switches but not hard to do. You want her to succeed but stay in suspense waiting to see if she does. One thing, hard to believe she could not detect that she was being tracked. Just added to the plot.
James Barney has written another well crafted thriller the story follows the adventures of Kathleen Sainsbury after she is given an ancient mummified sample and as studies the DNA she relies she could hold the key to increase the live span of the human race and she and her coworkers become targets. Great read
Unfortunately, I found this book to be rather disappointing. It started off simply, but with a rather intriguing premise revolving around our main character, a geneticist studying he longevity gene discovers that her parents were murdered in an archaeological dig in Iraq. A friend of the family passed down not the only the important information, but also an artifact that she uses in her own research to make a startling discovery. This early half of the novel, with its flashbacks and more genuine excitement, was a lot stronger. But soon, the repetitive nature of the book and the constant (and often redundant) discussion on the effects of longevity bogged the latter half of the book down into a dull, slow-moving wreck. Rather than develop with the story, the characters actually became more two-dimensional and flat as the novel progressed toward the end. By the end, the fate of the characters, as well as that of science, really did not matter at all to me.

For a more interesting read on a similar topic, I would check out Tom Knox's The Genesis Secret A Novel. It is a lot more exciting and the writing is more consistent and entertaining.
Did you ever wonder how people lived for long when you read the Bible? Does extending human life work against organized religion and contradict the Bible?

Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury's parents were murdered decades ago in ancient Iran. She is now researching INDY (I'm Not Dead Yet) genes in fruit flies. Is there a relationship? If there is a relationship then what is it and why is Kathleen now being targeted?

Yes this is a bit of what I call pulp fiction, but I like this book. Why? I loved genetic classes in college, I love exploring the Bible and I love archeological pursuits and I love a fast paced brainy book.

Movie recommendations
Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury Marge Hellenberger
I thought this book was well written, with a great blend of science, political intrigue, religion and myth to create a nice thriller. Nice use of various perspectives as the story jumps from scene to scene - might even make a good movie. Not sure if he's planning it, but I'm looking forward to a second or third installment with either a continuing theme of Sainsbury's gene research/gene therapy application, or perhaps continuing adventures of Sainsbury in Spain (where she ends in the book). I thought the author did a good job of keeping her believable, albeit naive, as a scientist caught in a conspiracy and in a matter of days having her world unravel around her...seems to me while the premise may be hard to swallow for some, it seemed believable to me - both the concept and the character portraits. Great work, and keeping my eyes peeled for the sequel!
What a great read! I look forward to reading all of Barney's work. His depth of knowledge & experience and his ability to communicate will make him a great author. The short chapters add to the suspenseful tempo. My wife's book club is now reading. Fortunately, they were able to find used copies since they don't do & was out of new ones.
I really liked the premise, biblical history, and explanation of the science! However, I made the mistake of researching the Tell-Fara temple on Wikipedia early on and basically figured out the whole plot in 10 minutes. Then, I had to wade through a couple hundred pages while the characters caught up with me. The main character went out of her way to do her research the hard way and to ignore any and all references to religion (that were obviously the backstory to what was going on).

When the story got into full swing, it repeated the dangers of the science several times and devolved into several chase sequences. It felt like the author didn't know where he wanted to go with the story about half way through. There were a lot of ideas brought up that were never really fleshed out. The ending was also a bit anti-climatic.

That being said, the author has a lot of talent ("Joshua Stone" is proof of that!) and I'd definitely read more of his books.
