For 155 days, Will Foster has been locked in medical quarantine without his consent. The doctors claim he is infected with a deadly virus, but this is a lie. Encoded in his DNA is a mutation that provides immunity from disease for all who possess it, source code that Vyrogen Pharmaceuticals aims to commercialize as a multi-billion dollar gene therapy.

Against all odds, Foster escapes his laboratory prison and steals a virulent strain of bubonic plague as insurance. To help him unravel the mystery inside him, Foster contacts the only person he can trust - a former lover and microbiologist living Vienna - and the two become fugitives, hunted across the heart of Europe.

Under the guise of averting a plague pandemic, Vryogen hires an elite, underground Think Tank to track down Foster. But when the team sets a trap for Foster, they discover they're not the only ones in the hunt. In a race against two deadly assassins, can the brilliant minds of the Think Tank unravel the truth before time runs out for their quarry?

In a novel where conscience clashes with greed, loyalty with suspicion, and paranoia with reality, The Calypso Directive deftly explores the issues of genetic exploitation and piracy. Captivating, controversial, and courageous, Andrews debut is sure to thrill and leave you wondering what secrets are locked in your DNA.

Reseñas editoriales

Brian Andrews' gripping thriller takes place in the fascinating and terrifying world where pharmaceutical research and biological warfare intersect. Will Foster, known as "patient 65" is immune to any and all disease has been held and studied like a lab rat by Vyrogen Pharmaceuticals. When he escapes, Vyrogen will go to any length to retrieve him and his precious DNA.

Ray Childs’ distinctive, raspy voice and dramatic delivery will pull you into this story that hooks you and never lets go. The medical jargon and contagion response feel eerily plausible while the action is satisfyingly intense.

Intriguing Premise • Engaging Plot • Pleasant Voice • Well-developed Characters • Interesting Concept • Masculine Pitch

I loved the book, but hated the ending. Maybe it is just a set up for a sequel in a new series. There is plenty of intrigue, twist and turns throughout the book.

Hard to put down

The story line was just hard for me to follow! Lost track of who was who... also just a little to close to home for me given we’re currently dealing with the COVID19

Couldn’t wait for it to be over!

I couldn’t enjoy the storyline - there was no was to get past the terrible narrating and focus on the actual book.

Terrible narrating

I actually liked the story, but the terrible narration ruined it. I hope they get a new narrator and release it again.

Good story ruined by the reader

The story was complex but it came together quickly, some books take forever before you understand what is going on, not this one. I recommend it.

Excellent Story
