Review of The Athena Factor (Hardcover)

This isn't too bad a read, although the action bogs down here and there as the author lets his characters expatiate on the pros and cons of cloning people and whatever that seems to entail.It's easy enough to skip these interludes and get on to whatever action is under way at the time they crop up.The characters are not that well developed, tending toward the stock rugged he-men and gorgeous babes (who are actually very well developed) that populate many examples of this sort of novel.The plot gimmick that gets the ball rolling is that many folks who want babies would rather give birth to a clone of some celebrity than whatever might result from their own DNA.The possibility of using genetic fiddling to correct"bad" genes is also broached.

Product Description
Bizarre celebrity thefts are occurring all over the world: A piece of hair from John Lennon, Julia Roberts' bed linens, and Sheela Marks, Hollywood's hottest actress, is constantly being approached in odd ways by obsessed fans literally out for a piece of her. Paranoid and desperate for her own safety, she turns to her security expert, ex-Marine Lymon Bridges, who must match wits with his most formidable opponent yet.
One of Bridges's new recruits, Christal Anaya, was a hot shot FBI agent who recently lost her job due to a major slip-up during one of the agencies most sought after cases. Now Bridges hopes to use her investigative expertise to unveil the perpetrator behind these "attacks." But what she finds is far stranger than anything coming out of Hollywood. A major genetics firm has been all over the world, kidnapping the best genetic scientists to use their expertise in a bizarre black market trade of celebrity DNA, and its megalomaniacal mastermind will stop at nothing until the world is as beautiful as Hollywood's A-list.
