Randolph is waking up from a four month
sleepwalk. He’s been trying to cope with his wife’s death, but turned to alcohol,
which didn’t make it better. Somehow, Randolph lost four months, and waking up
he discovers he can’t even remember his only daughter, Desiree, was bitten by a
snake and is in a coma. Now he’s trying to pick up the pieces, finding his lost
memories and trying to bring Desiree back. He might have lost his wife, but he
won’t lose his daughter too.
Randolph has been working close with an old
friend of his; Young Nae. They have a company that makes beauty products. They
dabble in genetics, pushes the envelope for what is possible. But how far would
you be willing to go when you have lost the love of your life?
Oy, such complicated webs we weave. I
thought I had this book “sorted” out, but Jay delivers a story that pulls you
in, spins you around and refuses to let you go.
Being a vet student, I have a certain
advantage to understand some of the genetics, the medical terms being discussed
in Daughter Cell, and I loved every second. I was fascinated by what Randolph
and Young had discovered, and how the story evolved. It was mesmerizing to
read.
I seriously want to discuss the plot, but I
am afraid I will reveal too much. I loved the twists, how Jay Hartlove made you
believe it was one person, how he made us follow the lead. Brilliant made. I
have to say, I did see at some point whom the Bad guy was, but the delivery of
that package was… gruesome. And loved
every second of it! There is so much to this story, I’m actually afraid to go
into too much detail, because the slightest comment can ruin it for you. As I
said; the web is complicated and it is dangerously beautiful.
Too me, pretty much everything came
together well in this book; the characters, the plot, the medical language,
Faith, mystery… it was amazing. In a way, I would actually like to see what
happened a little later, if father and daughter truly pull through.
Amazing read, sprinkled with mystery, Faith
and genetics. What’s not to love?
Leading
genetic researcher Randolph Macklin wakes up in Malaysia to find a four month
gap in his memory, his wife dead, and his daughter in a coma. As he and his
psychiatrist Sanantha Mauwad unravel the mystery, they find nothing and no one
are what they appear to be. Ancient cults collide with cutting edge science in
this tale of too much power driven by too much passion.
