★ This ingenious, fun, and well-written sci-fi thriller trilogy tells the stories of an ocean live-streaming crisis, a kidnapping case more complex than the double helix structure of DNA, and a madman on an artificial floating island... Each story is independent, and whether read in sequence or separately, they will be both captivating and convincing for sci-fi thriller enthusiasts.

This series consists of three books: "Deadly Depths", "Treacherous Tropics", and "Perilous Pacific".

In this updated reprint of Rick Chesler's kiDNApped, a priceless biotechnology, an FBI agent, and an unspeakable act of familial betrayal collide in a tropical kidnapping more twisted than a DNA double helix.
When a renowned scientist with a solution for global warming is kidnapped at sea, FBI Special Agent Tara Shores must unravel a high-tech trail of S.O.S. messages encoded into the DNA of living cells. As each decoded message brings Tara nearer to the missing genius, it also takes her farther from help than she ever thought possible.
