Trans-Atlantic Publications Publishes Biomedical Thriller As An E-book on Amazon
Online, September 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Philadelphia, PA - Trans-Atlantic Publications announced today the ebook release of The Methuselah Gene, A Science Fiction Biomedical Thriller, written by New Jersey author Sal DeStefano; and the second novel from their popular New Millennium Writers series to be released in ebook form. The ebook is available now on the Amazon.com site or in the Kindle Store as a download for $5.99.
This unique novel, which takes place in and around Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, explores alternative, genetics-based treatments for cancer within the context of a tightly-plotted, biomedical adventure/sea monster thriller that has been compared to the works of Michael Crichton and Peter Benchley.
In New Jersey's Barnegat Bay, two boys stumble upon a lethal marine predator that possesses remarkable healing and life-extension genes. Dr. Allen J. Johnson, a plant geneticist, finds that this animal's mutation may save the life of his son, who has an inoperable brain tumor. But Dr. Johnson must first confront a covert government agency determined to keep the life-extending genes a secret, as well as several ruthless men who will stop at nothing - including murder - to exploit the animal's mutations for their own selfish purposes.
Peter E. Glaze, Associate Editor for Ebook Publications for Trans-Atlantic Publications, said, "We are very excited to be able to release 'The Methuselah Gene' in ebook form and look forward to the release of other ebooks in the near future. The hardcover edition of The Methuselah Gene has long been out of print, so we are delighted to be able to offer this mass-market edition as an ebook to those readers who enjoy medically themed science fiction, and suspense thrillers."
Mr. Glaze further announced that, "Ebook editions of other titles will be made available in the near future for the Kindle and in other popular ebook reader formats."
