Reviews

"THE GENESIS KEY is a solid blend of science, myth, history, and suspense. It's remarkable and unconventional, which together make for a great tale. There's an intense brand of storytelling here, utilizing all of the elements I love. I can't wait for more from James Barney." -- Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key and The Templar Legacy "A strong debut thriller... James Barney deftly explores elements of modern science and antiquity to mine the kinds of themes so ably explored by the likes of Dan Brown and James Rollins... Barney is a welcome player in a crowded field." -- John Hart, New York Times bestselling author of The King of Lies, Down River, The Last Child, and Iron Horse "Barney's fast-paced debut novel demonstrates his knowledge of ancient history, the bible, and microbiol-ogy, as well as his fertile imagination. " -- Publishers Weekly
