Jeffrey Weinzweig: Contraptions, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A surgeon is found dead in Washington Square Park. Murdered. Who would murder a surgeon in cold blood? Ojo Jenachukwu, an inventor, is framed for the killing. He and his business partner, Derek Cannon, will unravel the shocking scenario that resulted in this murder while doing everything they can to prevent their own. A multitude of clever inventions play pivotal roles uncovering evidence that proves Ojo's innocence while infiltrating the depraved world of NEXUS. CONTRAPTIONS is a techno-medical thriller that tells the story of how these inventors become entangled in a heinous plot involving inter-species genetic engineering research at NEXUS that produces a series of grotesque birth deformities. Motive for the surgeon's murder comes as a gruesome revelation as Ojo and Derek utilize a myriad of their own contraptions to shut down the fiendish research occurring in Sector 13 that has been creating these monstrosities. And to derail the ultimate plan of NEXUS which will have global consequences. CONTRAPTIONS incorporates elements of suspense and ingenuity as the story of these inventors unfolds. Imagine a scenario in which human eggs are harvested without patients' knowledge or consent, fertilized in vitro, and implanted as embryos - in rhesus monkeys! This is precisely what is occurring in the operating room in Sector 13. And NEXUS has a very specific purpose for those embryos. This pair of inventors turned sleuths and their sarcastic robot sidekick will sacrifice everything to halt the wheels of human destruction already set in motion.
