This novel began life as Card's 1977 short story "Malpractice," which Johnston adapted into an unproduced screenplay. The two authors then developed another screenplay, which has now been expanded into this medical thriller. <br />
<br />
Dr. George Galen is a brilliant geneticist, but his vast ambitions have put him at odds with the medical research community and led him to create an underground research project resulting in the Healers, a group of humans with beyond-normal strength and remarkable self-healing powers. Further work produces V16, a virus of cloned genes that can be tailored to cure diseases in a specific person. Unfortunately, the virus is quickly fatal to anyone else. Several bizarre deaths catch the attention of the U.S. Biohazard Agency, which taps Dr. Frank Hartman, an infectious disease researcher, to investigate. <br />
<br />
The novel follows Hartman as he becomes one of Galen's guinea pigs and then leads a group of other victims in an escape attempt. Although a well-known author of such popular sf as the Ender series, Card has written a medical thriller "ripped from tomorrow's headlines." Gratuitous gore and sex are refreshingly absent. <br />
