For my second read of the year I went with a book that I had heard a lot of good things about. Peter James' Perfect People is a great example of what happens when nature takes a back seat to science. We follow the life of a couple John & Naomi who lose thier young son to a rare genetic disease. Now a couple years later they are ready to have another child but they want to make sure this child doesn't have the same fate as their first. This is where Doctor Dettore comes in, not only can he guarantee them a child that will be illness free, he can offer them a child that they design entirely from scratch whatever you want he can give that child. It's at this point where this start to go from bad to worse.....
I really enjoyed this book, it had just the right amount of science , drama and mystery to keep me turning the page.
Here is the publishers run down;
All they wanted was a healthy child...What they got was the perfect nightmare. I Can Eradicate All Diseases...John and Naomi Klaesson are devastated after the death of their child from a rare genetic disorder. More than anything they want another, but the chances of their next child being born with the same defect are high. I Can Give You the Child You Have Always Wanted...Then they hear about Doctor Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease, and so begins their journey. I Can Make Perfect People...They should have known something was wrong when they saw the list. Choose the eye colour, hair, great sporting ability. They can design their child. Now it's too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant, and already something is wrong...
