An Edward Snowden like whistleblower leaks GMO (genetic modified O) food safety tests to the press and is considered a traitor to his company. How will he survive on the run?

It is an easy read and not very interesting. ( )

I won this book through LibraryThing - Thank you!

Seth Rogan is a scientist working for a huge biotech company with great pay and wonderful perks. Both of which he enjoys to the fullest. Until one day he discovers his company has been falsifying documents on the safety of GMO's. They had been genetically modifying plants, mostly corn, to resist the pesticide they sell to kill weeds. Deemed safe by the company, Seth's findings told a different story. It is a trickle down effect that this GMO gets into the soil, the air and into the food chain chain. So ultimately into humans, which he believes (and there are studies), would link the GMO foods to obesity, cancer, diabetes, digestive problems, allergies, ADD and even gluten intolerance.

He wants to do the right thing and tell anyone who would listen about the potential dangers of GMOs and the wrong doing of his company. So he steals documents with proof and when he is discovered, he finds temporary refuge in Russia and the adventures begin.

The story is a fast read, the characters almost believable and the subject matter too scary and close to home. Will give you pause to consume anything corn related, and should, just in case. ( )

Seth Rogan finds himself on the run from the U.S. government and asking for asylum in Russia until he can figure out what to do with the information he has. It seems the company he works for is genetically altering our plants we eat with deadly consequences. I found this to be a fast read and I really liked Seth and the people he meets in Russia. If I had a problem with the book it would be that there is too much technical stuff and it tends to be repetitive. But if you can get past that then you should enjoy the book. I received this from LibraryThing Members Giveaway for an honest review. ( )

I received a copy of this book through the LibraryThing Members giveaway.
I enjoyed this book with reservations. It was an interesting read, but because of some grammar mistakes and typos, my reading pace slowed way down until I finished the book.
The best part for me was the Author's Notes at the end of the book; that 13 page part was a must-read and fascinating. I didn't know previously what a GMO was or was I interested. Now I find myself reading labels on grocery products and avoiding everything with those three little letters. (GMO) ( )
