THE SEQUENCE

by Lucien Telford
​
Kit McKee is the world’s leading genetic editor. Having run from an America where she is no longer welcome, she now develops lucrative cosmetic edits to the human genome from her secure laboratory in northern China. She has been working on a side-project in her spare time, keeping it a secret—or so she thinks.

Dallas Ward is a former civilian sub-orbital pilot who now transports contraband for a Hong Kong crime syndicate in a ground-effect stealth jet, not as a matter of choice. He has been tasked with a special delivery, this one with a time restriction.

Fong and Woo are two Hong Kong police detectives investigating a series of homicides that appear to take place only during typhoons. The bodies are found to be genetically edited, leading the detectives toward Kit, who has suddenly gone missing.
​
All three storylines weave together into a fast-paced, near-future techno thriller that raises intriguing ethical questions about genetics and the global distribution of power.
