The only clue they have are his brother's book, which mentions \"the God Gene.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA million or so years ago, a gene designated hsa-mir-3998 appeared as if by magic from the junk DNA of the hominids who eventually evolved into \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens\u003c\/i\u003e. It became a key player in brain development—specifically creativity—and laymen started calling it \"the God Gene.\"  Keith had been tracking this gene through the evolutionary tree, and was excited by an odd blue-eyed primate he brought back from East Africa. But immediately after running the creature's genetic code, he destroyed all the results and vanished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRick and Laura's search takes them to an uncharted island in the Mozambique Channel, home of the dapis—blue-eyed primates whose DNA hides a world-shattering secret.  In a globe-spanning mixture of science, mystery and adventure reminiscent of Michael Crichton, \u003ci\u003eThe God Gene\u003c\/i\u003e takes you to the edge of evolutionary theory and beyond...way beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe ICE Sequence Series\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003ePanacea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eThe God Gene\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe God Gene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Exhilarating.”—\u003ci\u003eRT Book Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, Top Pick (4-1\/2 stars)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Tight writing keeps this science adventure tale churning with the pace of James Rollins toward a conclusion worthy of Michael Crichton.\" —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003ePanacea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinalist in RT Reviewer's Choice Best Book Awards for Best Thriller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A fast, enjoyable read.” —\u003ci\u003eAmazing Stories Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Imaginative and well paced, with a good mixture of action and fantasy.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Grabs readers and holds on tight until the very end.” –\u003ci\u003eRT Book Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e (4 ½ out of 5 stars)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Sci-fi readers will not be disappointed with F Paul Wilson’s latest novel, but even those with other genre preferences (particularly mystery) will likely enjoy it as well!
