The Miracle Strain

A brilliant new talent explodes onto the scene with an extraordinary thriller that is already making waves. (Disney Studios has already acquired film rights for more than $1 million after a spirited, high-stakes auction.) At the very moment of famed geneticist Dr. Tom Carter's greatest triumph -- a Nobel Prize for his revolutionary discoveries -- his worst nightmares come true when his wife is slain by an assassin's bullet and his nine-year-old daughter is diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. Carter now needs a miracle to save his little girl, and one is waiting for him in a cave in the Middle East...and in the guarded DNA of the greatest healer in history. But first the scientist must make a pact with an ancient secret order, which makes him the target of a beautiful and frighteningly efficient killer because he dares to look beyond the genes of man and into the genes of God.
