THE COMING STORM

Mark Alpert

New York City, 2023: Rising seas and superstorms have ravaged the land. Food and electricity are scarce. A dangerous Washington regime has terrorized the city, forcing the most vulnerable and defenseless people into the flood-ravaged neighborhoods. The new laws are enforced by an army of genetically enhanced soldiers, designed to be the fiercest and cruelest of killers. Genetic scientist Dr. Jenna Khan knows too much about how these super-soldiers were engineered: by altering the DNA sequence in ways that could change the fabric of humanity.

Escaping arrest and on the run, Jenna joins forces with a genetically enhanced soldier gone rogue and a Brooklyn gang kingpin to resist the government’s plan to manipulate the DNA of all Americans. The race is on to stop the evil experiment before it spreads the genetic changes…and transforms the human species forever.

Comments

“The climate-change crisis explodes out of control in Alpert’s latest thriller. In 2023, the seas have risen, energy is at a premium, and chaos reigns in the streets. Laws are put into place, and these are managed by soldiers who have been given enhancements making them strong and cruel. A scientist learns that a plot is in place to modify the DNA of all Americans, and she teams up with a supersoldier to stop the plan before it can be put into action. Alpert’s vision of the end of the world is terrifying on multiple levels and comes across as all too believable. Using his background in science, Alpert has crafted a tale that begins with the U.S. government ignoring the effects of climate change and then abandoning human rights in a misguided attempt to control the resulting chaos. A frightening apocalypse thriller that is more The Walking Dead than Michael Crichton.”
