Core

Paul Preuss

As the entire world falls prey to a deadly magnetic pole shift and the evil intentions of those who would use technology for power, all eyes turn to Leidy Hudder, whose plan to explore the earth's center may provide their only hope.

Human Error

Paul Preuss

Adrian Storey wasn't feeling well. Not quite himself. When he disrupted the lavish press party that his company threw to announce a breakthrough new product, Epicell, Compugen's tame psychologist declared that Adrian had suffered a nervous breakdown from overwork. But Joana Davies, the beautiful young psychiatrist assigned to him at the sanatorium, knows better - if only she can prove it.

Adrian Storey and Toby Bridgeman are geniuses when it comes to genetic engineering - their work is the foundation of Compugen's success. They can rebuild a virus to order, tailor it to any purpose; they can make the stuff of life itself jump through hoops. But they couldn't make the president of Compugen stop the early release of Epicell. Compugen is in financial trouble and any delay might destroy the company.

Joana Davies knows that Adrian's nervous system has been infected by an unknown virus. Toby Bridgeman has a terrible suspicion what that virus is. They must join forces to unravel the deadly secret, before time runs out. Because Adrian isn't the only person who isn't feeling well...

The first major novel of genetic engineering!

Broken Symmetries

Paul Preuss

BROKEN SYMMETRIES introduces theoretical physicist Peter Slater and world-traveling photojournalist Anne-Marie Brand. They meet in Hawaii, where Anne-Marie is in pursuit of a story about the giant atom-smasher TERAC, the newest and biggest particle accelerator in the world, built amidst the pineapple fields of Oahu. Dr. Martin Edovich is the triumphant scientist behind the project--he claims that "his" discovery of I-particles will win him the Nobel Prize and change the face of physics.

But Peter Slater predicted the existence of I-particles long ago and suspects that they are unstable--explosive and potentially cataclysmic. And as TERAC ramps up, Slater's theory is about to be tested.

The symmetries of matter itself are about to be unexpectedly broken, unleashing the fury of self-annihilation...
