Geneticist Pierre Tardivel may not have long to live-he`s got a fifty-fifty chance of having the gene for Huntington`s disease. But if his DNA is tragic, his girlfriend`s is astonishing: Molly Bond has a mutation that gives her telepathy. Both of them have attracted the interest of Pierre`s boss, Dr. Burian Klimus, a senior researcher in the Human Genome Project who just might be hiding a horrific past. Avi Meyer, a dogged Nazi hunter, thinks Klimus was the monstrous `Ivan the Terrible` of the Treblinka Death Camp. As Pierre races against the ticking clock of his own DNA to make a world-changing scientific breakthrough, Avi also races against time to bring Klimus to justice before the last survivors of Treblinka pass away.Winner of the Seiun Award-Japan`s top honor in science fiction-and a finalist for the Hugo Award, Frameshift is classic Robert J. Sawyer, combining a heart-wrenching human story and cutting-edge science into a pulse-pounding thriller that `delivers the real thing with subtlety and great skill` (Toronto Star).
