Everyone’s After New DNA for Spirituality in The God Gene, Published by Outskirts Press
Montrose, CO, May 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The God Gene by John Evans. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the action and adventure fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/thegodgene was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
About The Book (Excerpts and Info):
Tom Oswald has just made the biggest scientific discovery since the double helix: a mysterious genetic code that holds the DNA programming for human spirituality. Its function? To create a unique chemistry that enhances our belief in something beyond reality, our fascination with the unknown, our appreciation of beauty, and our distinctively human sense of morality and love. How can he share this with a world already engulfed in unprecedented religious and political turmoil?
There’s little time for scientific accolades. Suddenly, foreign agents and organized crime are bent on stealing Oz’s bombshell data for their own purposes, putting Oz’s life -- and those of his closest friends, Spencer and Katherine -- in grave danger.
Equal parts Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, and Carlos Castaneda, The God Gene takes readers on a wild ride set amid cutting edge genetics research and industrial espionage, the Middle East and the Vatican, motorcycles and mysticism. Along the way, Oz and his friends collide with everyone from Mexican authorities to red-hat ladies, from unscrupulous thieves to a Mazateca Indian shaman who introduces yet another pathway to the gods.
As the mystery reaches a crescendo, kidnappers and extortionists force the threesome into a violent confrontation, with global consequences, where their destiny is finally fulfilled in an explosive finale.
This remarkable thriller imagines the possibilities and perils of our increasingly expansive knowledge of genetics. If a God Gene was actually discovered and its chemistry was mastered, how would the world’s great religions react? Could this knowledge be used as an approach to God -- or would this discovery reduce religion to nothing more than a genetic characteristic? What would religious zealots, terrorist nations, and greedy pharmaceutical companies do with this knowledge?
368 pages in length, The God Gene is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the action and adventure fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The God Gene meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $18.95.
Additionally, The God Gene can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks.
