Genetics/Genomics Still Remain Focus of Intense StudyThe release of Weapon K, which use genetics and war as the backdrop for the plot. Scientists believe that the cures for many diseases and infections of our time will be found in our genetics. There are researchers who put in exhaustingly long days, working toward a solution that will provide answers to many of the questions surrounding these diseases and infections. Some discoveries have already been made about the connection between genetics and certain illnesses such as Alzheimers or lung cancer. The problem, though, is what then to do with all that mass of information. Learning what gene causes what diseases and infections does not necessarily provide scientists and researchers with a cure or treatment for that particular disease, but it does bring them nearer to finding some answers. It is a interesting area of study, involving some of the most sharp minds in the scientific world, not to mention incredible money behind it. This climate of scientific advancement is the perfect backdrop for a new book, titled Weapon K, written by author Tow Wilkinson. When the story begins, Hans Logan is a man who has it all – cash, success, women,. youth and very good looks. Then one evening, he discovers that he is not who he thinks he is. He is plagued by flash backs that seem to belong to another person. Eventually, the plot leads Hans on a road of discovery, one that is littered with mysterious people, slaughter, international crime and even a bit of loving. This science fiction thriller takes you on an interesting ride that includes the world of genetics and intense drug research. It will leave you wondering about these break throughs and how they might be used for either good or bad. The race to discover the cure for diseases and infections such as cancer or Alzheimers is critically important. Any significant progress is positive and moves researchers and technicians forward. However, in other genetic research projects, issues such as cloning have been repeatedly discussed as to their ethical value. It's a fine line to cross, and one that creates fascinating questions and issues. Tow Wilkinson weaves these issues into the plot of his book, Weapon K, which is published by British Book Publishing and is available to order at stores near your home.
