About this ebook
In rural West Michigan, a brilliant young scientist, Mark Deremer, develops a genetic modification software which creates hypothetical microorganisms in order to capitalize on the burgeoning fields of bioengineering and environmental technology. Desperate to save their struggling company, the first-ever plastic-eating microbes are set loose on the county landfill, untested and hungrier than they ever could have imagined. The bacteria have already begun to affect the locals in fundamental ways when a pharmaceutical conglomerate pushes industrial-scale production. In addition to his own demons, Mark must face disease, corruption, and an unstable CEO to undo what has been done.

Having worked in neuroscience and psychological research for over ten years, both in academia and in the private sector, I can tell you from experience that the truth is stranger than fiction. Radioactive monkeys picking their own cage locks and roaming an empty research facility to be found by a lone technician on a Saturday is not only the stuff of nightmares, it has happened to me.I write fiction in response to therapists imploring me to keep a journal. I write about my experiences but assign them to fictional characters, giving me distance from reality but allowing me to get it out on paper. I can’t help but stand back and marvel at everything that goes wrong in biomedical research as well as in my personal life. Fortunately for fiction writers, that is what people want to read about, things going wrong. My dark sense of humor takes care of the rest.I am a combat veteran. I hold a BS in neuroscience from The University of Michigan and an MBA from Western Michigan University.
