Deirdre's a brilliant microbiologist, gene modifying bacteria engineered to clean up oil spills. The first real-world results are off the charts and everything seems to be going great. She's shocked when the bacteria run rampant, consuming not just oil but petroleum products of every type, including asphalt and plastics, spreading as a sickness from one machine to the next. Captured by Federal agents who consider her a terrorist, she has to escape. She luckily reconnects and joins forces with a hard-working Texan she's met on the way. They fight their way across a disintegrating landscape, attempting to reach a secure science haven where they might have the resources to solve the problem: who corrupted her culture's DNA? And how to stop it?

Autorenporträt
Peri Dwyer Worrell grew up the daughter of poor performing artists on a predominantly Puerto Rican street in Manhattan in the 1970s. From this, she gained a keen appreciation of the value of diversity, tolerance, and taking no crap from anyone. She dabbled in poetry and copy editing in her teens and early twenties, but her love of math and science and her ability to make people feel better by putting her hands on them led her, instead, into the profession of chiropractic, which she practiced for twenty-eight years in North Florida, where she reconnected with her Southern roots. When her wrists disintegrated, rendering her unable to practice as a chiropractic physician, she took that as a sign that she should return to her first love: the written word.Besides short stories and novels, she writes poetry, blogs about her travels, copy edits scientific research articles on a freelance basis, and watches a lot of sunsets.She is married and has four grown children.
