Fast moving story that asks the question, what are the rights of intelligent life even if it isn't human.

Thought provoking... much more cautionary than the average escapist thriller---Publisher's Weekly

I wasn't particularly impressed with the story although the science was fascinating. I also didn't like the way the story ended...maybe there is/was another followup.

This really drives home the necessity for ethics to keep up with new science.

Medical Science thriller dealing with Genome reasearch in the Amazon. Page turner to see whether man or animal is smarter.

A scary scenario not unlike Jurrasic Park, an excellent page turner of a scientific thriller!

This book is a pretty good read. I think the characters could have been built up more, but other than that, I enjoyed it.
