Five Stars
Targeting the Telomeres by R.N. Shapiro is the sequel
to the author's debut novel in the same series, the acclaimed Taming the
Telomeres. In the latest installment, Amanda Michaels is thrust into a
dangerous web of intrigue, political artifice, and corporate
expropriation when her family is unable to shake the pitfalls of her
father's telomere discovery….R.N. Shapiro certainly knows how to write
suspense, and the thrills and tension charge through every page. The
dialogue feels authentic and Amanda is a fabulous heroine, working with
and against a whole cast of supporting characters that enhance and drive
an already great plot…. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is
looking for an awesome series that doesn't hold back as a thriller,
fueled by an intelligent and articulate plot that feels like it could
have been written to play out on the big screen.

Targeting
the Telomeres: A Thriller by Richard Shapiro provides a wonderful
entertainment for fans of action-packed, cunningly plotted thrillers
with great settings. Amanda Michaels didn’t think her summer vacation
would be eventful, but then with her family being targeted by powerful
enemies bent on stealing her father’s work, she is pulled into a
whirlwind of action…I just became a fan of Richard Shapiro’s writing,
thanks to the masterful handling of plot and characters in this
novel…. The prose is crisp and it has descriptions of scenes, characters,
and places that leave vivid images in the minds of readers and
dialogues that help to build plot. The author is a master at creating
surprising turns and exciting moments throughout the narrative.
Targeting the Telomeres: A Thriller is engaging, a novel with a huge
conflict and strong elements of sci-fi. One of those stories I read
straight through the night.

The
plot is fast moving and the conflict kept me totally engaged. There are
no dull moments… the tension is superb, especially when Amanda and her
ally enter China. I literally have no fingernails left. The ending was
explosive and definitely not what I was expecting. The author is a true
master of weaving elements of a suspense novel together and has provided
a truly unforgettable story. I hope there is a sequel!

Heidi W, Reviewer
Targeting the Telomeres to be an exciting and thrilling with the back bone of a really good espionage book.
The characters are weaved though the book with expertise of a seasoned thriller writer who is able to bring the world he created into the light. R.N Shapiro creates a vivid picture of the world Amanda Michael's is thrown into as she tries to keep the do or die mission from being coming a die mission.
