Mortals A They Walk by Markus McDowell — Now Available!

ByCassandra Anderson

McDowell’s third novel is set in the near future when biotechnology is stretching the limits of ethics and legality. Three people: a man, a woman, and a young child, are caught up in a heavily funded project based on the theories of the brilliant geneticist, Vladimir Androvich, which involve gene-editing, bio-engineering, and selective breeding. While the geneticist is only interested in the benefits to humanity, bio-research firms, Big Pharm, military organizations, governments, and black marketeers see the project as a way to become fabulously wealthy and powerful.

The subjects become suspicious that they are not being told everything about the Project. When the results are successful, their lives are torn apart as the various groups vie for the technology and the child.

In the midst of kidnappings, payoffs, political intrigue, underground mayhem, and murder, the test subjects and project staff must wrestle with the ethical and legal dilemmas they have unleashed upon the world, decide what to do with the data and the lives that have been destroyed—and find a way to save the child.

Displaced and running away from political persecution in Zimbabwe, Bloggs shares his macabre experiences of the regime that forced him into exile.

Depressed by his raw, squalid life, the threat of an ignominious death on the streets of Johannesburg and shame of failing his family, the equilibrium between his inner self and the outside world descends into chaos and mental anguish. In near despair and degradation, his blighted spirit collides with the dark forces of his extremity which triggers an amazing transformation that not only saves him but also touches the broken lives of other people around him.

Bloggs, refusing to pity himself, finds philosophical humour in his life situation. For him it is the enduring spirit of freedom and honesty rallied with courageous responses to forces of dehumanization that constitutes nobility and hope.

Fiona Taylor enjoys staying out late with her friends. She hates her mother. She’s  bored by her high school, and tired of her day-to-day life. A typical teenager, perhaps. 

Except, in some ways, Fiona is not typical. Her mother has forbidden her to enter the basement. A man jogs past their house every day trying hard not to look like a cop. And her mother’s cello case seems to get heavier every time she brings it home. Oh, yes: there’s also a killer in the history books called the Red Creek killer, caught years ago—but is about to become part of Fiona’s life.
