The Descendant by M.G. Harris
Molecular genetics research student Jackson Bennett is astonished when the scientist he's meeting at Mexico City airport is led away by the authorities, only to disappear. Escaping, Jackson discovers that he's been passed a mysterious test-tube containing the missing scientist's final, coded message. With the help of Mexican archaeologist, Dr. Marie-Carmen Valencia, Jackson must now solve a puzzle which begins with an enigmatic DNA code and ends with a long-forgotten ancient burial chamber in Iraq. Their nemesis Hans Runig has people all over the world looking for them. Jackson and Marie-Carmen are dragged into a race to unlock human powers so ancient that the memory of them exists only in the human genome. THE DESCENDANT is a techno-thriller set in the world of the international, best-selling young adult series, THE JOSHUA FILES, also by M.G. Harris. Praise for THE JOSHUA FILES by the same author: "Will keep you up all night to finish" San Jose Mercury News "A satisfyingly twisty plot" Financial Times "An absorbing read" The Australian http: //fb.com/thedescendant http: //www.themgharris.com
