What if there was a genetically modified seed that could stop the famine in West Africa? Local growers would clamor for the product. The government would welcome the company with open arms. But are biotech companies aiming to stop world hunger or do they have a different agenda?
Lloyd Olsen, a top executive in a major western GM seed company, NewCrop, is asked to move to West Africa and head the company's operation. He is unaware of its criminal intent.
NewCrop plans to make West Africa a staging post for a larger and highly suspect operation - The distribution of a non-seeding, nightmare crop... dubbed the Suicide Seed.
A seed that could stop the famine and feed the hungry millions...
But a seed that kills itself and all other natural seeds in its proximity...
Eventually devastating the continent's agriculture, and wreaking havoc to its biodiversity. Farmers would have no choice but to buy their yearly supply from NewCrop.
Either that, or starve and die.
Chambers, NewCrop's CEO, extensively bribes a top agricultural official, Bathurst, to cajole and menace local growers into accepting the company's products. Bathurst is prepared to murder anyone who stands in his way, and he hires a psychotic killer to silence everyone who threatens the operation.
A disabled senior agriculturist, Dr. Khan, discovers the conspiracy and tries to expose the real purpose of NewCrop. With the stakes so high, will he survive and save what's left of West Africa's crops?
When Olsen learns about the true nature of the genetically modified seed, he has to choose sides. Will he risk his chances of becoming CEO, his life and everyone he loves - to expose NewCrop?
Ken Fry once again weaves a tale of murder and suspense that will keep you turning the pages.

Two ( out off the four in total )of the reviews are by people who have only reviewed Ken Fry books. They also mention the authors name quite a bit. They do look a bit suspicious.

Is this the beginning of the GMO Apocalypse?
