(We originally ran this in Jan 2005, but when we got the chance to interview the author we jumped at it, so we're adding it as a feature for the Feb 2005 issue - Ern). Gene is the second novel from Stel Pavlou (Decipher and screenwriter of The 51st State). I enjoyed this one a lot - it's gripping, edge-of-the-seat stuff!
