“I just finished Damien, and want to read more! I really enjoyed the book, and couldn’t put it down – even though I’m really too busy to read these days. It gave me the same feeling as a Michael Chrichton novel- very thought provoking, and would make a great screenplay. I rated it 5 stars on Amazon.”

Written by Oscar Donald Erickson, former writer for the CBC and brother to iconic Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, this novel explores the emotional and psychological implications of integrating a genetically modified individual into society while taking the reader on a wild ride through Latin American politics.
