Web Tyson, founder and head of aprestigious pediatric surgery practice, may be the next SurgeonGeneral of the United States-unless the truth comes out about whatis happening to infants in Room 525 of the Crestview Women's andChildren's Health Center. And Lenore Kingsley, wealthy president ofa huge pharmaceutical company, is using her power to engage inhuman DNA splicing research and to make Web Tyson the next SurgeonGeneral-for her own dark purposes. When these three personalitiescollide over a strange chain of events, none of them will be thesame-and none of them may survive.

"A chillingly detailed picture of the power struggles that dominate the biogenetics industry."
—Library Journal
"This medical potboiler . . . holds readers glued to their seats. . . . Kraus may be to the medical world what John Grisham is to the legal territory!"
—A Closer LookA Closer Look
"Kraus raises important questions and, wisely in a work of fiction, attempts no answers, preferring to let the story speak for itself."
—Ethics & MedicineEthics & Medicine
"Kraus . . . [is] quick on the uptake with tight, interwoven conflicts and thorough character development. Powerful illustrations of biblical truths also saturate every crevice of the story line."
—Christian RetailingChristian Retailing
"A thought-provoking book that should wake Christians up as to what could happen in the world of medicine if stiffer restraints aren't enforced."
