A survivor. A soul mate. A secret affecting telomeres - the protective tip of the human chromosome that controls cell life. And death.
High school senior Amanda Michaels suffers from amnesia with regard to everything before the jet crash that only she survived. She lost her parents and her memory in the aftermath but miraculously survived. While recovering, Amanda strikes up a whirlwind romance with a young hospital volunteer but recalls only a haunting series of flashbacks of her near-death experiences (NDEs).

Where does Taming the Telomeres: A Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is in the top 3 for me.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Captured me right away and especially at the end. Surprises I did not see coming too.Have you listened to any of Mikael Naramore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Had not heard him but I like him.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The beginning was awesome and the ending and "chase" at the end was great too.Any additional comments?

Well, what's this book about?

Shapiro demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of not only the law and legal procedure, but also the details about the practice of law. He gives us an insider’s view of the federal court system, and demonstrates knowledge about domestic operation of our intelligence agencies.
Shapiro is an inventor, and holder of a number of patents. This explains for me the reason that he was knowledgeable about the telomeres, something that I had never heard of prior to reading this novel.
As an aside, after reading this work, I felt compelled to look further and discovered that tellers really do exist, and in fact were the subject of the 2009 Nobel Prize in medicine won by Elizabeth Blackburm (Johns Hopkins) and Jack Szostak (Harvard Medical School). “Awarded for the discovery of telomeres, the repeated sequences of DNA at the ends of chromosomes that protect the integrity of the chromosomal DNA, and for the discovery of telomerase, the enzyme that builds the telomeres.”
Listen this book, The narrator was excellent, and I have not doubt you will love it as I did!

Where does Taming the Telomeres: A Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's right in there with Baldacci and Grisham. I read everything they write. This equals them in entertainment, suspense, grip on your interest. I hope the author follows up with more in this genre.What was one of the most memorable moments of Taming the Telomeres: A Thriller?
The discussion of the biology and the events that led to the plane crash.Which scene was your favorite?
The scenes in the countryside outside Washington, DC. They reminded me of some of Baldacci's best scenes out in the Virginia countryside. I know that area. Very realistic - Loudoun County, Va. ...Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but couldn't do that. I drive a lot and listened to it straight thru before starting up another.Any additional comments?
I am interested in the intersection of science and law. I am a chemist and enjoy books that have an element of science in them - but the science needs to be accessible. it is here.Science and Law!

Would you consider the audio edition of Taming the Telomeres: A Thriller to be better than the print version?
Great performance. Is this better than print? Can't say, all depends on what you prefer but this novel keeps you guessing and makes you really think.What did you like best about this story?
That it didn't follow a typical thriller formula. Several twists occurred that I never saw coming.What about Mikael Naramore’s performance did you like?
You need to enjoy a narrator hour after hour, and I like the richness of his voice. He varies his delivery for some of the characters nicely also.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was drawn in to this novel from the very beginning. Amanda Michaels was a complex character, it was hard to relate to her at times, but that is good in a way because the author developed many of the key characters and I invested in them.Any additional comments?
If you enjoy Grisham, Gone Girl and stuff like the Bourne Identity, you will love this thriller.Loved it. Not the typical thriller formula
