This story involves the illegal and legal swapping of one persons gene for implanting into another person to change their intelligence. Although this book is fictional, it points out the ways science could change our political and ethical values. This book begins with a goal to help disabled children through new discoveries and gene manipulations by swapping genes.. The main character, Dr. Janet Stewart, directs a secret CIA lab whose basic purpose is to discover how certain genes operate. Her discovery of the gene that controls a persons IQ is secretly tested in childrens clinics, military academies, prisons and finally in terrorist interrogations at Guantanamo Bay. Genetic swaps are performed with dramatic results. Dr. Stewarts associations with two neurosurgeons, who are also interested in genetic research, bring about the discovery of the C mystery gene. An amazing observation is made after testing humans at a secret lab in Pahrump, Nevada. This gene proves to be fundamental in a persons thought regarding faith and trust. This leads to tests with Atheists, Agnostics, Catholics and Muslims. Tests show how a suicide bomber constantly reinforces his faith gene, through free will, to enable him to destroy his own life and that of others. Finally, The President of the United States directs Dr. Stewart to devise a program to be used on all foreign students visiting the United States that would make them our secret ambassadors without them ever knowing it. This is not a far fetched idea. New gene discoveries are being made as you read this novel.. The purpose of this book is to give a simple warning. As a world leader the United States must be vigilant not to exchange human control for human rights. This new knowledge is dangerous in the wrong hands..

Gene research at the CIA is an explosive sci-fi thriller where a young doctor named Dr. JANET STEWART is caught up in a top secret government experiment slipping out of control. Entangled in a web of politics, espionage and terrorism Dr. Stewart is taking the gamble of her life where one wrong move could be her last. Her discovery of the gene that controls a persons IQ is used in secret experiments in the armed forces, childrens clinics, prisons and at terrorist interrogations at Guantanamo Bay where personality changes are made. Her success advances her politically to earn a seat on the cabinet of the President of the United States. Dr. Stewarts association with two neurosurgeons Dr. JOHN STODDARD and Dr. JAMES ROTH lead to the discovery of the C mystery gene. An amazing observation is made after testing humans indicating this gene is fundamental in their thoughts involving faith and trust. They test an Atheist, Agnostic, dogmatic Catholic and a Muslim. Theories are made on how a suicide bomber constantly reinforces his faith gene to enable him to destroy his own life and that of others. Finally, the President of the United States decides to use these gene discoveries on thousands of foreign students invited as guests to study democracy and our life styles in the United States to, in effect, make them our secret ambassadors to promote democracy on their return home. This story illustrates how an innocent humanitarian idea slowly becomes a modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde scenario. Individual IQs are changed and personalities regress from adult to that of children. Even the President is enticed by the lure of absolute power through gene control. The warning is simple; as we follow the path to new genetic discoveries we must be valiant not to surrender our moral and ethical values. We have the power and knowledge to create monsters.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Impressively original." —The New York Times "Sparkles in every way. A love letter to the open lonely American heartland...A must-read." —People "The kind of book that restores your faith in humanity." —Toronto Star Welcome to Little Wing. It's a place like hundreds of others, nothing special, really. But for four friends—all born and raised in this small Wisconsin town—it is home. And now they are men, coming into their own or struggling to do so. One of them never left, still working the family farm that has been tilled for generations. But others felt the need to move on, with varying degrees of success. One trades commodities, another took to the rodeo circuit, and one of them even hit it big as a rock star. And then there's Beth, a woman who has meant something special in each of their lives. Now all four are brought together for a wedding. Little Wing seems even smaller than before. While lifelong bonds are still strong, there are stresses—among the friends, between husbands and wives. There will be heartbreak, but there will also be hope, healing, even heroism as these memorable people learn the true meaning of adult friendship and love. Seldom has the American heartland been so richly and accurately portrayed. Though the town may have changed, the one thing that hasn't is the beauty of the Wisconsin farmland, the lure of which, in Nickolas Butler's hands, emerges as a vibrant character in the story. Shotgun Lovesongs is that rare work of fiction that evokes a specific time and place yet movingly describes the universal human condition. It is, in short, a truly remarkable book—a novel that once read will never be forgotten.
« Ces hommes qui sont tous nés dans le même hôpital, qui ont grandi ensemble, fréquenté les mêmes filles, respiré le même air. Ils ont développé une langue à eux, comme des bêtes sauvages. » Ils étaient quatre. Inséparables, du moins le pensaient-ils. Arrivés à l’âge adulte, ils ont pris des chemins différents. Certains sont partis loin, d’autres sont restés. Ils sont devenus fermier, rock star, courtier et champion de rodéo. Une chose les unit encore : l’attachement indéfectible à leur ville natale, Little Wing, et à sa communauté. Aujourd’hui, l’heure des retrouvailles a sonné. Pour ces jeunes trentenaires, c’est aussi celle des bilans, de la nostalgie, du doute... Nickolas Butler signe un premier roman singulier, subtil et tendre, récit d’une magnifique amitié et véritable chant d’amour au Midwest américain.
Little Wing im Norden Wisconsins. Henry und Beth waren schon in der Schule ein Paar und haben ihren Heimatort nie verlassen. Sie kämpfen um ihre Farm und unterstützen ihren Freund Ronny, der nach einem schweren Unfall vom Rodeo-Star zum Alkoholiker wurde. Kip war als Rohstoffmakler in Chicago erfolgreich. Nach seiner Hochzeit will er in seiner alten Heimat neu beginnen, findet dort aber nur schwer Halt. Lee hat ein Album aufgenommen – »Shotgun Lovesongs« – und wurde damit zu einem international gefeierten Star. Auch ihn zieht es zurück nach Little Wing, zu seinem besten Freund Henry und dessen Frau Beth, mit der ihn mehr als eine Freundschaft verbindet. In einem unvorsichtigen Moment setzt er alles aufs Spiel.
Henry, Lee, Kip en Ronny zijn samen opgegroeid in het landelijke Wisconsin. Sinds hun jeugd zijn ze andere paden ingeslagen; Henry bleef op de familieboerderij en trouwde met zijn jeugdliefde, terwijl de anderen op zoek gingen naar méér. Ronny werd rodeorijder, Kip zocht zijn fortuin in de stad en muzikant Lee werd in één klap beroemd met zijn debuutalbum Shotgun Lovesongs. Nu zijn alle vier weer terug in de stad voor de bruiloft van Kip en dreigt oud zeer aan de oppervlakte te verschijnen. Iedereen blijkt de vriendschap anders te ervaren, en de vraag is of de banden nog zo sterk zijn als vroeger. Shotgun Lovesongs gaat over liefde en trouw, de kracht van muziek en de plaats waar we echt thuis horen.
