Payback

Science is making everything possible.

Even the power to cure all most known diseases is at hand through the wonder of bio-technology.

The intelligence of the human race has become unrecognisably advanced since the time of our Stone-Age predecessors.

But modern man is also deeply flawed, with a complete disregard of the natural world.

This is something animal rights activist Lydia Barton knows all too well.

Her own father, Sir James Barton, is the leader of a pioneering bio-tech company, one of the people she must fight to further the cause of animal rights.

Sir James Barton is about to discover that, although primitive man is different from him in many ways, some things haven’t changed.

Having lost everything in bankruptcy before, Barton is willing to go to any lengths to make his money back, and his drive to restore his fortune runs as strongly in his veins as it did through the veins of his wronged primitive ancestors.

Experimenting on pigs and monkeys is one thing, but even Lydia cannot guess how far her father will go in his determination to reclaim his financial position...

'Payback' is a gripping international thriller of finance and technology written with the expertise of a master story-teller.
