Publisher's Synopsis
When Richmond, Virginia, freelance newspaper reporters Charlie Johnson and Sheila Miles stumble upon a strange traffic victim who has no fingerprints and is part man, part dog, and part snake, they find themselves involved in a top-secret project for the U.S Counter Intelligence Agencies. A brilliant DNA scientist in a secret laboratory in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains west of Charlottesville is splicing the genes of various animals into humans to develop super spies. He is giving humans the keen senses of hearing, seeing, heat sensing, swimming, and strength of these animals. Charlie and Sheila eventually find the elusive Dr. Frederick Morganthau and initially pledge their support. But when Sheila tries to take matters into her own hands to expose this project, they find themselves helplessly in mortal danger. Rob Ransone, an aeronautical engineer and former U.S. Government official, has had all of the top-secret Government clearances described in the story, and has made the various actions and procedures authentic. The scariest part of the whole story is that, although it is fiction, it is not "science fiction"--it is within the current state-of-the-art..
