Eugenesis Inception

On the verge of losing her job and having to give up her research in genetic engineering, the brilliant and ambitious young scientist Maria Guevara discovers that she is also - inexplicably - pregnant. After taking a leave of absence from her position in Paris to return to her hometown in Spain, Maria begins preparing for motherhood, hoping also to unravel the mystery of her pregnancy and the obstacles that have stalled her once-promising career.

Not long after, Maria begins to feel that someone is watching her. Dismissing it at first as nosy neighbors or perhaps an awkward admirer, she continues to go about her normal routine. But a series of increasingly unsettling events, culminating in a terrifying encounter with a menacing stranger, forces Maria to realize that she is confronted by something beyond her control - something that threatens both her and her unborn child.

A shadowy and sinister conspiracy has risen from the ashes of the great war of the previous century, now determined to use modern genetic engineering technology to accelerate a dark vision for a new world order.

Eugenesis: Inception takes the reader on an unexpected and gripping journey, where cutting-edge genetic research collides with a festering legacy of evil.

After growing up in California and Nevada, some peripatetic college years and a stint in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division in North Carolina, Andrew went on to a career in the energy industry. Eventually he spent 20 years living and working abroad, including in Europe, Africa and Asia, and in 2018 finally returned to the US, where he currently resides with his wife (of 32 years) in Houston. Eugenesis: Inception is Andrew's debut novel, and was inspired by his love of storytelling and the tapestry of cultures and experiences he encountered in his travels. In addition to writing, he is a voracious reader, a mentor in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America organization, a lover (and occasional collector) of art, and remains an avid and curious traveler. Andrew is also the proud father of a talented songwriter-singer (Kira) who currently resides in the San Francisco area.
