Trade Review

'With all the twists of a double helix, The Killing Gene is as thought-provoking as it is action-packed. Davey’s writing is punchy, yet lyrical, delving deep into the distant past of humankind, questioning what makes Homo sapiens unique and what the future might hold for the one race on earth that has inherited The Killing Gene.’

* Matthew Harffy, author of The Bernicia Chronicles series *

‘Gripping, shocking and thought-provoking: a dispatch from the front line where ancient history meets modern nightmares. E.M. Davey has been to some of the wildest places on Earth, and it shows. This will keep its hooks in you long past the final page.’

* Tom Harper, author of The Lost Temple *

In an epic adventure stretching from the jungles of the Congo to the valleys of Tajikistan and beyond, The Killing Gene blends exceptional research and a keen observation of human nature to create a captivating and intelligent adventure novel. Featuring a tenacious hero who must unravel a menacing conspiracy if he is to reveal the truth to the world, this is another stunning thriller from E. M. Davey.’

* Rob Jones, author of the international bestselling Joe Hawke series *

'A thriller with a truly thought-provoking premise. A real page-turner.'

* Rob Sinclair, author of the bestselling Enemy series *
