The Genesis Code

By: Lisa von Biela

Narrated by: Daniel Dorse

Obedience and submission...uploaded directly to the brain....

When Mark Weston is hired by OneMarket, the prestigious and premier supplier of global equity trading systems, owned by international business tycoon Simon Harris, he thinks he's found his dream job. Great pay, amazing benefits - and sure, the hours are long and the demands on his time are often extreme - but it means financial security for him and his wife Sheila, a new life and a new beginning, a fast track to success with a great company.

But deep within the walls of the enigmatic OneMarket, there is something unthinkable happening that only a select few are aware of, the development of a new kind of invasive technology dubbed the genesis code, that could not only expand Simon Harris' empire, but create a new, more efficient and obedient workforce. Mark and his coworkers have unknowingly become part of a horrifying experiment they may never be able to escape, and time is running out.

A new kind of worker...a new kind of hybrid...a new kind of corporate slave....

What. A. Book.

This book has been on my to-read list for a while. Ever since finishing another book from Lisa (Broken Chain) I knew I wanted to read this book. I enjoyed Broken Chain so much, I would listen to it if Crossroads Press releases it on audio (crosses fingers).

So, I work in the technology field. I understand the meaning of uptime and carrying (n) 9’s. We have contracts that make up maintain a certain amount of uptime. 5 minutes of downtime per year is insane. Truly insane. And I 100% believe that companies (especially financial companies like the one in the book) have contracts like this. Knowing what that means and what some of these penalties look like in real life made this book feel even more real to me.

The mixing of home-life (what little there was) and work life set this book aside a little. I’ve read, what I call “Business Thrillers” before and loved them — but they don’t focus a lot on the home life. von Biela really tried to mix the two and show what working and living like this was like for both the husband and the wife. I commend her for doing so.

The technothriller part of this was straight out of my favorite author's playbook. I’ve even read a book similar to the premise in here (maybe a little further along). That made it even better for me. It was something similar but done in a totally different way. I love when a book can do that.

If you’re a technothriller fan (think Douglas E. Richards and Michael Crichton) and business-type thrillers (Eliot Peper and Joseph Finder) then this book is definitely for you. Also, if you’re a fan of just a darn good story – check this book out.

I was voluntarily provided with a copy of this book. It has not affected my review in any way.

Great Read

Loved it. Great Story, good pace. held my attention start to finish. If you like Bentley Little you should love this

GREAT THRILLER

THE GENESIS CODE BY LISA VON BIELA , in my opinion is a ten on the creepy,it could very well happen in reality, meter! Imagine having a computer chip inserted into your cranium that will upload information you need to do your job. Sounds great,right? Think of the time saved on trying to learn. Picture now an owner of a company wanting more from that chip, no disobedience , no thinking its time to go home,no thinking, no thinking,no thinking..........

What rates it a ten on my creepy meter? Just picture a CEO or a President saying this chip is mandatory! Everyone will get one,no saying no! Think it couldnt happen? Read THE GENESIS CODE .The narration by Daniel Dorse was excellent and put just the right tone to make the audio version even better.

I recieved this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review.

Dedicated

The story line was great. It tells of a man who joins a new company, that pretty much requires that he dedicates his life to them. The perks they offer along with his salary was hard to resist. But there is something more going...how much more will he have to dedicate?
