Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnstons taut thriller Invasive Procedures takes readers a few years into the future, and shows the promise and danger of new genetic medicine techniques. George Galen is a brilliant scientist, a pioneer in gene therapy. But Galen is dangerously insane – he has created a method to alter human DNA, not just to heal diseases, but to "improve" people – make them stronger, make them able to heal more quickly, and make them compliant to his will. Frank Hartman is also a brilliant virologist, working for the governments ultra-secret bio-hazard agency. He has discovered how to neutralize Galens DNA-changing virus, making him the one man who stands in the way of Galens plan to "improve" the entire human race.
