Cease to Exist

A U.S. Congressman, Instagram influencer, and university professor all go missing. What do these seemingly random disappearances have in common? Richard O'Brien, a newly minted FBI agent, is assigned to find out. Meanwhile a group of scientists and nation states are engaged in a high-stakes race to exploit new discoveries in genetic engineering, where the winner will have the ability to literally control the destiny of the human race. Follow Richard O'Brien as he travels to Cambodia, Thailand, and Hong Kong, diving head first into the effort to prevent science from replacing evolution and life's natural order. If you are naturally curious, if you love science and suspense, and if you want to see where the field of genomics is heading, you will love "Cease to Exist." "Cease to Exist" follows Richard O'Brien's debut in "Con & Consequence," also by Ian R. Lazarus and available at most online book retailers. Approximately 320 pages.
