THE DEITY GENES The Human Genome Project has mapped tens of thousands of genes that make up our human species. The problem is, we only know the purpose of a few thousand of these genes. Genetic science has not identified a purpose for the overwhelming majority of genes. Could some hold the key to a Supreme Being that resides quiescently in all of us? The Deity Genes is the story of a young man who confronts this possibility and fends off a power hungry religious zealot intent on capturing the power of these genes for his own ruthless purposes.     AUTHOR Robert A.

I just put the book down after reading it in two sittings. It is a captivating and detailed story about a simpleton who gets some cholesterol treatment and winds up with god-like powers. I don't want to give the ending away, so I'll just tell you that Kloner invites us into the dark world of cult fanaticism where the leader's lust for power is pitted against a good-natured regular joe who has his deity genes turned on! Definitely a creative enticing comic book-like read with dramatic overtones - I was rooting for the regular joe all the way to the end! -Amazon.com reader A lover of science fiction, my favorite genre is the novel in which the science is close enough to current standards to be believable, but far enough away to challenge my thinking. This is one such book. It is tantalizing to think that the many, as yet, unidentified genes in the human genome may hold the key to future abilities that are unthinkable today. They are just waiting to be "turned on". The characters in this book who face the challenge of responding to this neoteric situation are involving and real. The bad guys give you a chill, because their actions are only too believable, and I found myself really empathizing with the hero and his friends. All in all, a very enjoyable book. -Amazon.com reader
