Book First Edition
Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 2001: A stand-alone novel by Paul J McAuley. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: A Chinese expedition finds microbial life deep under Mars's polar cap and secretly brings it back to Earth. Chinese biotech companies want to exploit the extraordinary potential of this tough, ancient life, but industrial espionage leads to the escape of a genetically altered version, the Chi, into the Pacific Ocean. Able to adapt and change at high speed, the Chi's ever-mutating, fast-growing slick is threatening ecological meltdown. Microbiologist Dr Mariella Anders finally realises her ambition to travel to Mars when she joins a NASA team racing a second Chinese expedition to the site where life was first found. Mariella is famous for having discovered the infective agent behind the Moses Plague, but her uncompromising attitude has made her plenty of enemies, not least the expedition's self-appointed leader Penn Brown. She soon discovers that political expediency, ruthless commercial manipulation and Penn Brown's vested interests not only compromise scientific truth, but threaten the expedition's survival. And she learns that while discovering the secret of the Chi is hard enough, knowing what to do with it is even harder:- Review(s): "'The Secret Of Life' is a gripping near-future thriller for the Age of the Genome, blending the wonder of classic science fiction with the terrifying implication of biotechnology" / "McAuley is one of the best" - Independent / "McAuley matches the best of his American rivals for zest and scope" - Guardian / "A crafty and inventive writer" - Locus / "McAuley is part of a spearhead of writers who, for pure imagination, hipness, vision and fun, have made Britain the Memphis Sun Records of SF" - Mark Thomas, Mail On Sunday / "Usually you get ideas or voice. With McAuley you get both - in spades. Without question, the most exciting of Britain's new-edge writers" - Michael Marshall Smith:- (original cost £16.99).
