Bøger af Vic Rizzo

Geneticist and Johns Hopkins professor, Mitzi Weaver finds her world turned upside down when three exceptional teens in her care abruptly vanish. She waits in the Bath County Sheriff's Office for Lieutenant Phil Jenkins, a hard-nosed veteran cop at the Virginia Bureau of Criminal Investigation and up-and-coming FBI Special Agent Clifton Cox. During intense questioning, they try to determine her involvement in the disappearance. Weaver recounts the lives of Ethan, Sara and Chetana, from their remarkable conceptions during a cosmic eruption that blankets the Earth with subatomic particles, to their unexplained disappearance fifteen years later. Are Jenkins and Cox capable of understanding the unique nature of these teens? What facts should she reveal? Will they believe the incredible truth? Under interrogation, Mitzi relates the gifted children's struggle to apply themselves and avoid opportunists seeking to exploit their unique abilities. The probing plot peers into the fields of genetics, physics and child development. Events move across continents and exotic locations—from the mountains of Colorado, to the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, to a tiger sanctuary in India, climaxing in the mysterious disappearance at a lake in rural Virginia. Where are they now?———A stunning and unexpected flash lights the sky… Vic Rizzo pens the tale of a cosmic collision that impacts earth, causing a genetic increase in the intelligence of three children born at that instance. Aware of the effect of the intense energy in the explosion of the hypernova, a genetics professor tracks these gifted individuals, until they suddenly disappear and she finds herself accused of complicity. In a fast moving plot, relationships develop between well-drawn characters interacting on three continents in a struggle to understand the edge of metaphysics and science, where matter and energy meet.—Albert Noyer, Author of Alberix the Celt series and the Fr.
