THE NEXT STAGE IN HUMAN EVOLUTION IS ALMOST HERE...
BUT WILL HOMO SAPIENS SURVIVE?
The year is 2065. Environmental and social chaos are destroying all life on earth. Food supplies have dwindled to almost nothing. The wealthiest live in gated cities; everyone else ekes out an existence in gang-ruled shanty towns.
Michael Khan, a geneticist struggling to save his wife from a deadly virus, is recruited by a secret organization to engineer the next stage in the evolution of Homo sapiens highly immune to disease and extremely cooperative.
When the military learns of his research, they hire him to help create a bio-weapon to be used against invading forces. However, the military has its own agenda, and Michael soon learns that nobody, not even his own government, can be trusted.

Conception A Post Apocalyptic Thriller Perfectible Animals Book 1 eBook Thomas Norwood
I got this book from Amazon as a kindle version. As usual, I had read several reviews of the story, both bad and good. I decided that it had enough merit even as a first novel, I am so glad I did because not only did I get a whale of a great read, but have been introduced to a new author with the potential to provide me with years of reading pleasure.I started this book with a wee bit of trepidation when I discovered that it is written in the first person style. Normally I prefer to read from the side of an onlooker telling the tale. I quickly put my fears aside though as I progressed. By the end of the first couple of chapters, I was firmly hooked and read straight through till I was finished with the entire book.
The story is basically about Dr. Michael Kahn, a geneticist, striving to find a cure for his wife Annie, who is dying slowly of HIV-4. As the tale proceeds Mr. Norwood weaves complex government plots and corporate evil doings into the tale. It is so real that you find yourself comparing what you are reading with what we seem to be experiencing in our own lives these days.
Medical technology abounds in this novel laced with gene splicing, bio engineering, and futuristic medical meddling much of which is very much happening now, but taken to new levels by Mr. Norwood's masterful technique. At no time did I feel the tale dragging or lacking in exciting details. It is full of characters of all ilks, some of which you will love, and others you will hate.
The single downside to this book is that it ended. On an up note however, the author has spilled the beans and admitted to a sequel which will be finished sometime in 2014. I for one have already signed up to receive notice of its arrival on the market. If you have not yet read "Perfectible Animals" I suggest you do so now and you can thank me later.

Conception A Post Apocalyptic Thriller Perfectible Animals Book 1 eBook Thomas Norwood Reviews
Post apocalyptic? Well not quite. The setting is more of a landscape of negative consequences to man's inhumanity to man and to his environment. The cast of characters is reaping what they sowed for so long. It is set in the future, but not that far in the future. That is what makes it so believable.
Among the corporations who are part of the military-industrial complex are those who give projects to labs and other scientific organizations to produce what they want to use for their own power-driven purposes. Nevertheless, there are sincere scientists who may work in these companies who are trying to contribute to the welfare of mankind.
This story exposes what can happen to someone who may be well intentioned but who has no idea how much trouble a respectable and intelligent scientist can get into when bucking the powers that be. Right here in the good ole USA!
I enjoyed this book with the feeling that I need to look over my shoulder and determine if this is really fiction. I consider it true science fiction as it involves science that can easily become part of our society and is not far fetched. I only hope that when we do face the problems that we will definitely face (as we are currently creating them) we will have someone or some group that really cares making the decisions that will affect our children's and grandchildren's futures. Read it and weep!
I get all the other reviews that stated this book was informative without being preachy. It was very well written and enjoyable. Not your typical cookie cutter book that wraps everything up in a too perfect bow at the end. It tells the story of a man, Michael Kahn, with a sick wife named Anne. We are shown how Michael gets put into an impossible situation in order to save her life. Lots of concepts and ideas about morality are shown but most of the time both sides are not glossed over.
Michael struggles with what he has done and will do to save the one person he truly loves. The part of the book I found most compelling was the amount of time he uses trying to save Anne and in turn almost neglecting her. Forest for the trees I guess. And this isn't lost on him either.
The scientific parts are just enough to sound convincing without making me feel stupid or confused. The trial lasted just long enough. The ending was satisfying.
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was the sexual aspect of his friends and their church. I saw the value in it as to how society was behaving but I felt that it almost distracted from the book at times. It needed to go full force and have Michael interact with it and go thru that inner turmoil or just leave it be. Anne was too nonchalant about giving Michael permission to have a one night stand when she obviously had years left to live.
I did really enjoy the way one, seemingly harmless decision led to so many other harmful and out of control situations. I liked the way it built on the character so you could understand how it got that way.
Thomas Norwood has written a powerful, heartfelt, conflicted novel about where we are headed as a species, the vested interests that seem to propel us there at ever-quicker speeds and how we might avoid that unpleasant destination. Written in the voice of preeminent geneticist Michael Khan, Norwood explores how one scientist seeking to solve Homo Sapiens' existential and ecological juggernauts ultimately must face his biggest challenges within his own conscience. Can he change humanity's destiny by genetic means? Should he even try? Are we worth saving from ourselves - or are we genetically predisposed to avarice and self-interest and therefore doomed to destroy ourselves?
The big picture doesn't get much bigger than this, yet Norwood manages to keep it specific and focused on a dystopian near-future world as experienced by Michael, his ailing wife Annie, their coterie of friends and colleagues, and their struggles with the morally bankrupt upper echelons of government, business, and the military. Constantly pitting public interest vs. private, free will vs. genetic destiny, and amoral means vs. moral ends, Norwood has painted a haunting portrait of our future and spins a tense, dramatic tale that asks questions that are hard to answer.
