About this ebook

Imagine you could genetically engineer a microorganism that was able to produce LSD into its culture broth. If the microorganism was a brewing yeast you could make beer spiked with homemade LSD. Imagine how much mischief you could cause with that. If the microorganism was a bacterium that you had also engineered to transfer LSD-synthesis to every other bacterium in a person’s body, you could make some very potent live yoghurt. Imagine what sorts of mischief you could do then.

Follow Karen Spencer, an investigator with the Plasmid Control Commission on her first solo field mission as she identifies exotic microbes like these and pursues those who created them and put them to use.

And all the time she is chasing them down, the greatest mischief these microorganisms have caused is being played out in the dizzying depths of the North Atlantic.

Author

Rik de Mora

Born in the village of Moore in the Borough of Halton, located midway between Runcorn and Warrington in Cheshire, England, where his father was a licensed victualler, Richard de Mora gave up a promising career with the Mersey Ferries to follow his dream of being a session musician at Abbey Road. He never actually played his guitar in any Beatles’ sessions, though he often claimed that he had. Tiring of the hand-to-mouth existence of a poorly-paid session musician in London, he returned to Liverpool and had a range of lucrative jobs in local attractions in the city’s growing tourist industry. These included trainee crocodile-handler at a local adventure park; specialist scouse-chef at a Pier Head hostelry; and mushroom forager in Sefton and Prince’s Parks, where he also worked as a tennis coach. During most of this time, he attended creative writing classes at local colleges and wrote several quite successful professional texts and guidebooks. Now, he’s decided to write fiction and it’s up to you to decide how well that’s turned out.
