| Summary, etc. | What could the Shroud of Turin, a conservative Southern senator and an entrepreneurial researcher have in common? Here politics, religion and bio-science collide in the latest novel from the master of the medical thriller.<br/>Senator Ashley Butler is a quintessential demagogue whose support of traditional American values includes a knee-jerk reaction against virtually all bio-technologies. When he's called on to chair a sub-committee introducing legislation to ban new cloning technology, the senator views it as a keystone to his political future. As a consequences, Dr Daniel Lowell-inventor of a technique that will take stem-cell research up to next level-sees a barrier being raised before his biotech start-up.<br/>These seemingly opposite personalities may clash during the Senate hearings, yet the two men share a common failing. Butler's hunger for political power far outstrips his genuine concern for the unborn; while Lowell's pursuit of massive personal wealth and celebrity overrides any real considerations for his patients'well-being.<br/>Further complicating their confrontation is the confidential news that Senator Butler has developed Parkinson's disease-which leads the senator and the researcher into a Faustian pact. But in attempting to utilize Lowell's new technology prematurely, the therapy leaves the senator with the horrifying effects of temporal lobe epilepsy-causing seizures of the bizarrest order. |
