Tempest - (Family) by Luke Lively (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In 2030, Dr. Marc Walker discovered the cure for cancer. In his genetic research, Walker unexpectedly uncovers the answers to humankind's most significant questions locked deep within the DNA code of every human being: Who made us? What are we? Where are we going?

The answers bring together Dr. Walker; his twin brother Jon, a decorated war hero; Alana, one of the top US female Olympic athletes; and Aaron, an assassin working for a shadowy government group called The Order, as the unlikely last line of defence against the greatest threat to humanity ... its creator.

While fighting against powerful forces attempting to exterminate human life and colonize Earth, the four face the reality of their distrust of mankind. Their struggle to answer the question, "Is humanity worth saving?" will ultimately decide the fate of the human race. The human species is on trial-and the verdict will determine the future of life as we know it.

The Family: Tempest is the shocking, suspenseful story of the universal conflicts of racism, slavery, terrorism, and, ultimately, survival, both on Earth and beyond.
