Overview
Kate Allison and Lyle Goldman are corporate mercenaries. They work for high paying clients handling the messy business corporations would rather keep out of the public eye. They find themselves fighting to stay one step ahead of the company chasing them. They are hunted, betrayed, and protecting one of the most important assets they've ever come into contact with. The truth they discover not only represents a billion dollar investment for the company, but a dangerous genetic future for humanity.

Hi, I'm Lincoln!

I'm an author of horror and science fiction books and I love to tell ridiculous and wild stories. I've written over twenty books throughout my life under three different pen names. The first book I published was when I was fourteen years old. The only thing I remember about it is that it was a lot of fun, but the final result was terrible. I had no idea what I was doing, no guidance, and it was far from a finished project.

Since then, I've written five horror novels, several space operas and techno thrillers, and even a couple of literary books about social issues in America. The genres I write are all over the place, but in general I stick with horror, science fiction, and thrillers (and best case scenario is when I can do all three at once!).

My newest book-in-progress fits firmly in the techno thriller genre, and it's one I have been working on for several years. It's adapted to changes in my writing style and the kinds of stories I want to tell, and whenever I think about it I get excited. I love the technology of the Crispr/Cas9 system and the implications for our future as humans. It represents a leap forward unlike anything we've seen before, and the possibilities are endless.

However, wrapped inside that are social issues and philosophical issues about what it is to be human. We are already using this new system around the world to engineer new traits into animals and considering its applications in fighting off genetic diseases...how long will it be until we are using it to engineer our own humanity?
