NAMED ONE OF THE BETTER BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Set in an amoral potential where genetically engineered monstrosities combat each other to the death within an Olympic event, The Video games envisions a harrowing globe that may arrive sooner than you think.

Silas Williams is the amazing about The Video games geneticist in charge of planning the U.S. entry in to the Olympic Gladiator competition, an internationally sanctioned bloodsport with only 1 guideline: no human DNA is allowed in the look of the entrants. Silas lives and breathes genetics; his styles have led the United States to the gold in every prior event. But the other countries are catching up. Now, desperate for an advantage in the upcoming Video games, Silas’s boss engages an experimental supercomputer to design the genetic code for the gladiator that can’t be beaten.

The result can be a highly specialized killing machine, its genome never before seen on earth. Not Silas, with all his genius and experience, can understand the horror he previously a submit making. And no one, he concerns, can anticipate the results of entrusting the action of creation to a computer’s cool logic.

Right now Silas races to understand what the computer provides wrought, aided by a beautiful xenobiologist, Vidonia João. However as the fast-growing gladiator demonstrates preternatural strength, quickness, and-most disquietingly-intelligence, Silas and Vidonia find their scientific interest giving way to a most unexpected emotion: sheer terror.
