"Perspicaz y absorbente" (Kirkus Reviews): Juan parece haber encontrado una cura para el cáncer, pero cuando Nate, forense del FBI, analiza un caso desconcertante, queda claro que el algoritmo de Juan ha caído en malas manos... "Un thriller intrigante con trasfondo científico que hace gala de un final de infarto." (F. Paul Wilson, autor superventas en las listas del New York Times)
-------
Juan Gutiérrez, investigador sobre el cáncer, lleva años dedicado al estudio del genoma de animales que presentan inmunidad ante ciertos tipos de cáncer. Durante la investigación, Juan descubre un patrón que le permite predecir la trayectoria de la evolución de una especie a lo largo de miles de generaciones.
Empleando el algoritmo desarrollado a partir de dicho patrón, Juan desvela lo que considera la clave para vencer la vulnerabilidad humana al cáncer.
Sin embargo, a otras personas les interesará utilizar lo que Juan ha dado en llamar "el enigma de Darwin"; en vez de para luchar contra el cáncer, plantearán usos muy distintos para el nuevo algoritmo genético.
Nate Carrington, forense del FBI, lleva tiempo devanándose los sesos con varios casos sin resolver cuando se le notifica un incidente en un rancho cercano. Un ternero recién nacido aparece en medio de un rebaño de ganado muerto, lo cual guarda relación con los otros casos de resfriado que Nate investiga: el análisis del ADN del ternero no presenta ninguna concordancia con la base de datos del FBI.
Cuatro trabajadores de un hospital rural de Virgina Occidental han muerto y un bebé recién nacido ha sido trasladado a una unidad de bio contención de alto nivel.
Cuando el Instituto Nacional de Salud envía una alerta a todos los hospitales y a las agencias de seguridad, el mundo se da cuenta del peligro al que se enfrenta.
