THE GENE TRAP

A Sequel to No Known Species

By: Stephen N Berberich

Change is inevitable and it is coming to the modern world as it had for a thousand centuries. A mysterious force, hidden in the shadows of the cosmos, holds sway over the destiny of all living things, and the final chapter for mankind is about to be written. A superior species, borne of humans, is poised to assume dominion over the Earth. Enter The Gene Trap. This manuscript is the second in a series of techno-thrillers by Dr. Stephen Berberich. Similar in story line to a Michael Crichton novel, the book’s plot depicts the struggle of contemporary man in his effort to avoid the inexorable consequences of evolution. As the story unfolds, John Lynch and his girlfriend, Gigi Thompson, are on their way to Pittsburgh to begin their new careers, John as a medical intern and Gigi as geneticist at the prestigious Hawthorne Institute. Though they remain perplexed by the mysterious disappearance of their best friends, Peter Gault and Kate Donavon (main characters of Berberich’s first novel, No Known Species), John and Gigi find themselves consumed by the rigors of their new positions. The last thing they need is to be caught in a titanic struggle for human survival—a struggle that would pit them against Peter’s clan of mutants. Influenced by unexpected events, the couple is drawn into a sinister plot hatched by a worldwide cabal of intellectual elites who are determined to eliminate the gifted species. It is a move that could solidify mankind’s rightful place of primacy. Though the elite’s scheme seems flawless, unforeseen mistakes begin to occur. A deadly synthetic germ is accidently released into the biosphere, creating a plague the likes of which the world has never known. Worse yet, a deadly trap lurks within secret recesses of the human genome. It is genetic time bomb that will be detonated if scientists attempt to tinker with the essence of mankind’s DNA. The Gene Trap details the age-old struggle between the old and the new, with Gigi and John caught somewhere between the two worlds. The final act makes clear the meaning of the genesis cycle.

No Known Species

The Dark Secret of the Genesis Cycle

By: Stephen N Berberich

In January of 1987, Rebecca Cann, a research scientist from the University of Berkeley, published an astounding discovery. Using mitochondrial DNA as her blueprint, Dr. Cann was able to trace the first human to a solitary female born in Africa about 200,000 years ago. These facts suggest that this large step in evolution occurred within the span of a single lifetime. The study clearly departs from Darwin’s concept of evolution. Furthermore, there is a fundamental truth hidden in Cann’s research: if a Genesis event happened once, it is inevitable that it will happen again. No Known Species—The Dark Secret of the Genesis Cycle is a novel that blends Darwin’s theories and a mysterious force that seems to control the destiny of the human race. The book begins with the recreation of the biblical tale of Genesis; only this time it is not the story of our ancestors’ birth, but the birth of a vastly superior race and it takes place, not in the Garden of Eden, but in the belly of contemporary society. In 1984, two extraordinary babies are born on identical birth dates, 3000 miles apart, and under mysterious circumstances. Imagine for one moment that you are Peter Gault and Kate Donavon, lone mutants with advanced physical and mental gifts. How would you adjust to a primitive world that was governed by humans? Moreover, would humanity ever learn to accept a race of beings that had such vast superiority? One central question builds in the minds of Kate and Peter: If it were discovered that their birth meant the end of the human race as they knew it, would these special beings be permitted to survive? As the story unfolds, the interwoven lives of Kate and Peter serve to unravel the mystery of the Genesis cycle, and possibly wreak havoc on the natural order of man.

Shadows of Reality

By: Stephen N Berberich

Christmas Day, 3:00 a.m., December 25, 2015 The final chapter in man's search for truth began with a single event that took place in the wee hours of Christmas morning, 2015. A crippling blizzard of epic proportion had blanketed the entire northeastern corridor with an opaque shroud of ice and wind-driven snow. All ground and air transportation was at a complete standstill as residents throughout the Atlantic coastal area hunkered down in their homes awaiting a reprieve from nature's fury. This explains why Ray Hodges was fast asleep at his desk in the air traffic control tower of Dulles International Airport. After doing absolutely nothing for the past six hours, he was bored stiff and had planned to rest his eyes for only a moment. Forty-five minutes later, Hodges was awakened by a high-pitched alarm warning him of an incoming bogey. The aircraft's radar signature was that of a TWA Constellation, a prop-driven plane that he had not seen since the early 1960s. The anonymous intruder was flying dangerously close to the high value targets in Washington DC, and Hodges was required to establish immediate radio contact with the inbound aircraft. Using multiple radio frequencies, he tried to hail the pilot, with no response. This perilous situation prompted an urgent call to the Strategic Air Command at Andrews Air Base, and within minutes of notification, a squadron of F18 jets had surrounded the aircraft. The team leader contacted Hodges and reported that he too was unable to communicate with the pilot. Then the pilot said something that made Hodges's skin crawl. "Dulles, there seems to be multiple objects protruding through the fuselage of the plane. Understand the visibility up here is marginal, but those objects look a lot like body parts." Hodges instantly felt a gnawing pain centered in the pit of his stomach. Thus began one young man's journey into the crypts of the unknown. It was a place where all reality was an illusion.

The Origin of Evil

By: Stephen N Berberich

The Origin of Evil A group of well-intentioned geneticists in charge of the first designer baby project at a fertility clinic in Southern California were on the brink of an incredible discovery. Their arrogance ultimately led to a critical error in judgment. The dire consequences of that blunder wouldnt be evident for years to come. Unfortunately, by then, it was too late. Vatican Citytwenty years later Pope Peter II, the first American pontiff, began having nightmares so vivid and realistic that on the last night of each month, he was unable to sleep. The night frights were always the same. Horrific evil was spreading through population centers like an aggressive cancer. Worse yet, these nightmares had escaped the boundaries of the popes dreams and invaded reality. Father Kevin McCarthy, a noted American geneticist, was urgently summoned to Vatican City to investigate these strange happenings. What he and his colleague, Meighan Cole, found would join science and religion at the hip and then turn each discipline on its respective ear. They discovered that pure evil had its ancestral roots in human DNA and those individuals missing a prime gene, and their names were replete in the annals of history. But what Kevin found while drilling even deeper into this matter was more alarming. This new and burgeoning generation of evil, led by Daman Leonard and his master plan, was not the product of classical evolution, but one created in a laboratory using a computer and a petri dish. This evil, if not confronted quickly, was destined to change the nature of man and turn the human race into an advanced species with no genetic soul.

The Enlightenment

By: Stephen N. Berberich

Truth came on winds of a raging storm. Think you know whats real? Read The Enlightenment and prepare to question everything. Jack Tessler was profoundly disillusioned when his mother told him Santa Claus was nothing but an urban myth. Yet unlike most children his age, Jack did not take the news lightly. His parents fabrication created festering doubts that forced their son to question everything he blindly accepted on faith and his parents trusted word. Thus, in time, Jacks mission was to understand the world around him through the prism of science and reason. The journey begins. Its early Christmas morning, 2017. All air traffic has been suspended as a blizzard of enormous scale pummels the US. An alarm sounds in the Dulles air traffic control tower. A 1950s-era prop-driven aircraft is on final approach, and its one not seen aloft in four decades. Meanwhile, Jack Tessler receives an urgent call from NSA director Alex Long. What the young physicist learns will radically alter his belief system and shake the very foundations of modern science. It seems the plane in question left Bostons Logan Airport early Christmas morning, 1954. Tesslers journey of discovery will take him to a place no human has ever gone. It is the only place thats real.
