W. Michael Gear’s Genetic Thriller duology includes Dark Inheritance (2001) and Raising Abel (2002). Both novels use genetic science as the foundation for thriller plots, exploring the ethical lines that researchers cross and the consequences that follow.
The books show Gear working in contemporary settings rather than his usual historical or science fiction territory. His scientific background gives the genetic concepts credibility, while the thriller plotting keeps the pages turning.
