Description
The Prometheus Man is a thriller about last remaining frontier in the world: us.
The story begins as a manhunt for a serial killer and explodes into a race to uncover a stem cell experiment that would rip apart humankind. The characters are people we come to love: a young drifter without a family, a hard-bitten party girl, a CIA agent called upon to hunt down a traitor he admires.
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein, The Prometheus Man is about characters going all the way to the edge of existence—then staring in horror as they realize they’ve reached the pitface of the abyss.
Advance Praise
"Reardon takes the reader on a wild ride through what could be Hell's theme park. . . . The Prometheus Man electrifies. But it transcends mere entertainment; it raises profound questions about the uses of science and technology."―Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch
"A winning international thriller that is as smart as it is suspenseful. Part Robert Ludlum, part Michael Crichton, with a contemporary spin all Scott Reardon's own, The Prometheus Man is flat-out a great read!"―Christopher Reich, New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Deception
"The Prometheus Man is a bullet-paced thriller that provokes fear, anger, and sympathy simultaneously, and makes us hope the world never lets this particular fiction turn into reality."―Thomas Perry, Edgar Award winner and bestselling author of The Informant
"The Prometheus Man is a phenomenal debut, full of non-stop action and thrills. With this bioengineered twist on Jason Bourne, Reardon offers a dark vision of covert work that may be closer to the present than we think."―Matthew Quirk, bestselling author of The 500 and Cold Barrel Zero
"A debut thriller that succeeds . . . Many high-octane action scenes Reardon executes with skill."―Kirkus Reviews
"The Prometheus Man is not only a stellar debut, it's a rare find in the reading landscape: a fast-paced techno-thriller with well-realized characters and a beating heart. A lot of people are running around claiming to be the next Michael Crichton. Scott Reardon actually has the writing chops to pull it off."―Brad Parks, Shamus Award-winning author of Say Nothing
"Reardon has packed his debut with action, plot twists, and well-sketched characters. . . . Recommend this one to readers of John Burdett's The Bangkok Asset."―Booklist
