Description
Book SynopsisHuman experiments in Zimbabwe, an Australian farmer''s death, and a Sydney CEO''s suicide: these events are linked in the mind of one woman, Serena Swift. A ballsy advertising director with a guilty conscience, she decides to take on one of the world''s most powerful producers of genetically modified food, Gene-Asis. Serena disguises herself to infiltrate Gene-Asis in an attempt to expose the company''s horrific genetic experiments. But suddenly Swift''s informants disappear, and she is hunted by a hired killer and framed for murder. Chased from Sydney to New York, she must face the man she fears most, on his own turf. If she fails, nothing can stop a global catastrophe. And nobody can help her - except a dead man.

This Antarctic thriller is a rollicking good read, with a true hero and fabulous accompanying cast * Vanda Symon (on Thirst) *
Quotidian logic is challenged in L A Larkin's Devour (...) This is the kind of unlikely but tense scenario that the late Michael Crichton specialised in; it seems that in Larkin he has an heir apparent. -- Barry Forshaw * The Guardian *
