Another one from Kate, one of her favourite authors. Was n't really up for this, did n't think it would work for me but it just goes to show you should always be prepared to try something different!! (Still on the Kindle though.)
The story of a couple who, having lost their 4 year boy to a devastating hereditery diesease, go to see a trail blazing scientist to get a "designer baby". They want a healthy boy, that's all, but given the option of improving things like diet, sleep patterns and intelligence they find themselves compelled to tweak a few things. Months later the scientist is apparently murdered by the religious cult who have swarn to kill him and the spawn from his experiements. The father to be has got drunk for an interview and told the whole world what they are up to too so they are now in fear of their lives.
They end up with twins, a boy and a girl, and quite remarkable twins at that. The story tells how they evade the clutches of the cult and deal with extraordinary children. An excellent read, difficult to put down, done in three days ;-)
That other guitar is not getting played much!!
Now before I take my Kindle to India and Japan in February I really shiould read some of the actual books that peeps bought me for Xmas :-(
