Huysman’s Pets [EPUB ebook] 

Stanley Huysman was a Nobel laureate whose visionary theories of his later years, bridging biology and physics, came to be labelled crackpot ideas. The true genius of these experiments became clear only when Huysman’s widow called on Drew Lancaster to write the scientist’s biography. As Drew deciphers the man’s notes, to crack the code of government-funded projects and the secrecy of Huysman’s unscrupulous assistant, it is revealed that the great man actually achieved what he set out to do. By genetic manipulation, he induced telepathy in his subjects. But Dohemy is now holding those subjects’ children prisoner, and it is only their extraordinary powers that can save them.
