I am envious of Cook's imagination. But it's probably good that I don't have it or I'd never sleep. Great story. And I liked Anthony Zerbe who performed the book.

With this disturbing story, DNA research is shown to have a fearful potential, not only through possible mistakes and accidents, but ironically even through success. Splendidly researched and intricately plotted, Mortal Fear is R.C. at his phrophetic and galvanizing best.

This writer is really an MD doctor, and I do believe that half of what he writes is based on real things that happened! Terrifying and yet thought provoking!

The cover of my book differs and is a little worn, but not torn.
