Description
Extraterrestrial DNA mutates life on Earth into a cosmic playground and an obscure frequency draws in the players.
US Secretary of Energy, Ed Marker, is living his dream as head of the most ambitious power initiative in the world. He is overseeing the roll-out of the harvester project which will provide clean, efficient, and unlimited energy. When this new technology activates alien DNA, the price of free energy becomes too high.
This uncatalogued genetic code is reshaping the planet as the world's oceans turn a deep crimson and seismic activity shakes the globe. People are developing photosynthetic properties, growing scales, and using previously inaccessible portions of the human mind. These alarming changes are accelerating with each passing day. Millions of years of evolution are occurring near these monstrosities in only months, and it is up to Ed and a team of scientists to stop these transformations before the human race is unrecognizable.
Dormant Diversion is the first book in The Harvester Series. Diane Lauer and Sarah Lauer Nakawatase have turned biology and physics upside down, weaving a contemporary story of genetically-unimaginable proportions.

I am a fan of disaster and first contact novels. For me, the best scenes are the thrilling scenes and sometimes wild plot. Well let me tell you, this story grabs the reader from the first page and doesn't let go. Love the creativity of the story. It's not a hard science fiction novel, it's a popcorn science fiction novel, and I really enjoyed it. I will recommend it to patrons at my library.
I am a library associate and received an advance copy from #NetGalley.

At first, you think that it is the new technology, Harvesters, that were causing mutations within the human populace. Instead, you learn that aliens seeded our planet with their DNA to create a new world that had lain dormant for million of years.
The science of the was interesting and I really enjoyed reading the different POVs. I am hoping there is a sequel.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC and this is my honest review.

Genetic mutations caused by extraterrestrial DNA is causing the human species to undergo rapid evolution into a new species. Can Ed Maker and his team of scientists succeed in stopping this before the Humans as we know them are wiped out.
I love these sorts of stories when science is mixed with apocalyptic disaster. This time it's a biological time bomb that has been dormant for eons. A thoroughly enjoyable read throughout.
