'The Extinction Gene': Pandemics Linked to Global Climate Change

Natural Gas Pipeline in Gobi Desert Threatens Ecosystem and Sacred Ground of
Mongolia

CANYON, Texas, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Extinction Gene" (published by
iUniverse) by Robert Gross, M.D., takes readers on a journey that seems more
fact than fiction. Walter Perriman, a Nobel Prize-winning paleontologist,
finds evidence that extinction events throughout the ages were caused by a DNA
sequence triggered by climate changes that destroyed resistance to pandemic
disease. He discovers the gene in recently extinct and endangered species, and
finds the gene is becoming active in human beings. He theorizes that current
climate changes have again triggered the DNA to activity, but is murdered
before he can present his findings.

Unfortunately, proof of Perriman's theory is threatened by the impending
demolition of his Gobi Desert dig in order to make way for an immense natural
gas pipeline, a deal outlined in a nefarious agreement between Russia and
China called the Syberian Accord. Before his untimely (and convenient) murder,
Perriman requests that his friend Allen Trevathan, a former U.S. Air Force
officer previously stationed in Desert Storm and current ecologist, return to
Mongolia before the dig is destroyed along with all the evidence that could
save the human race from self-annihilation. Trevathan joins up with Professor
Kim Do, Perriman's previous assistant, only to be hunted across the Altai
Mountains in an attempt to save humanity from the claws of a greedy nation in
pursuit of global domination at all costs.

Filled with espionage, environmental science, and enough action to rival
"Indiana Jones," "The Extinction Gene" is a nonstop adventure deep into the
heart of political corruption and scientific censorship that explores the
nature of our very existence on Earth while also theorizing about the
possibility of our collective demise as a result of ongoing climate change
around the world.
