Description

A story of one woman and her team’s struggle to overcome adversity in a world all too plausible to today’s reality.

Sarah Randall is the head of Dyodyne Labs, which has developed a remarkable new technology: a microscopic computer system with the ability to track people with pinpoint accuracy.  

Since the lab is government-funded, its first use is attaching it to a benign virus to secretly track criminals and anyone who comes in contact with them, making it invaluable in bringing down the drug cartel.  

But when the biggest terrorist attack in U.S. history devastates New York City, the Department of Homeland Security orders the team to launch the untested system to find those responsible.  

What they discover is unthinkable - six nuclear bombs hidden in six major cities.  

As Sarah and the team at Dyodyne rush to track down the terrorists holding the country hostage, they discover yet another threat: DaNA is mutating and may be impossible to control… 

The Gold Medal winner (IPPY) for best popular fiction in its first edition in 2009 and five-star reviews from Goodreads.com and many others, the authors have reworked The Dyodyne Experiment to be published for today’s reality in preparation for its sequel, Dyodyne, Sentience.

Book is a great thriller! Combines the right mix of science fiction and reality to hook the reader in. It's a fast paced novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I thoroughly enjoyed The Dyodyne Experiment.

I truly enjoyed this book! This action-packed story with a technological edge was similar to a Clive Cussler, Michael Crichton (Congo) or Steve Alton (The Meg) novel. The scientific breakthroughs involved in the storyline were believable with just enough detail to make you think, hmmm, that's alarming, brilliant, and amazing, then a few complications were dangled which kept the story moving. Wow, what if the DaNA technology became reality in a few years? I enjoyed the interplay between Sarah and Tim plus the secondary characters. Uncle Billy seemed a bit too much of a superman to be true, but that doesn't detract from the fun. The book ends with an imperfect happy-ever-after (some characters have to die, after all) and a glimpse into a topic for the next book. If you like to read about chillingly potential technology and fast-paced action with some love interest (but nothing explicit), then grab book! I look forward to reading more by authors Doulgeris and Santoro.

Quite good. It has an interesting premise, and it's mostly engaging. The authors don't have the polish of more experienced authors, but it's written well overall. A lot of thrillers fans will like this one.

I really appreciate the review copy!!

What if criminals could be traced in real time. What if the tracker could be passed to everyone they deal with? What if the government had this untested tech? What if a terrorist attack on New York was imminent? Untested or not, you know the government would be using it. DaNa is this technology and it is being brought online.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The technology used in DaNa could be created in the very near future, if not already. The terrorist attack in the book is terrifyingly believable! I could not stop reading until I'd finished. If you like thrillers, read this book!

Starts out a bit techy, with a lot of medical explanations that don’t really explain much but once you get past that the book is a decent read. Dyodyne is a medical group that is working on a way to track people by way of common cold (or other simple virus) and the Government is anxious to use it. With the date for implementation drawing near and subject chosen things are starting to heat up. Add in some espionage, terroristic threats and a faced paced plot you end up with a decent read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you NetGalley, James Doulgeris and Michael Santoro for this edition and hearing my honest review. Looking forward to reading more with you

I really enjoyed this book once I got into it. It started off a little slow. It introduced the Dyodyne Experiment in the beginning, but then half the book later, I was still waiting to hear how this experiment tied into everything else that was going on. I think this played into one of our biggest fears, as humans, that we will be blown to smithereens by our own greed. No matter how much we have, we always want more. Not necessarily as individuals, but there is this drive to get more. More money, bigger houses, more expensive cars, fancy clothes. I think this is sort of a judgement on our greed. I think the ending is also a rebuke of our trying to play god with our technology. I can't wait to read the sequel. The characters were interesting, I really want to see more of Hatch and Sarah and their relationship. There were some characters that literally had me rolling my eyes, like Dallas Houston. Also known as Tex. As a Texan, that was just too much. All in all, it was an enjoyable read that at times had me on the edge of my seat. As for my emotions during this book, they were all over the map. Smiling, laughing, crying, angry.
