A high-stakes biotech thriller that feels chillingly real, Genesis II is a gripping story of genetic engineering gone wrong, government cover-ups, and a virus that could wipe out humanity.

When eco-activists raid Transgenic Biotech, they uncover more than just fields of genetically modified crops. Dan Cruickshank, an infiltrator searching for a secret file, is killed during the escape – silenced before he can reveal what he found.

Miles away, an organic farmer and his daughter are struck by a mysterious, fast-spreading flu after eating their own homegrown potatoes. When virologist Karl Housman investigates, he makes a horrifying discovery: the virus is species-jumping – and it’s lethal.

Meanwhile, solicitor Madeleine King takes on the defence of one of the arrested activists, hiring a private investigator to follow Dan’s trail. But she’s not the only one hunting for answers. MI5 is watching. The deeper Karl and Madeleine dig, the clearer it becomes: the flu is no accident. And whatever Transgenic Biotech was working on – codenamed Genesis II – was never meant to be made public.

As the virus spreads and the body count rises, Karl and Madeleine must race to expose the truth before it’s too late. But powerful forces will do anything to keep their deadly secret buried…
