Frenzy

DONT GO IN ALONE! The top-floor hurricane party went well--until the freakish storm forced the party-goers into the Cancer Research Institutes basement. Now their only escape is through a labyrinth of barely-lit tunnels that are rapidly flooding. Pretty biologist Carmen Niles leads the others through the maze and falls into a deadly scheme to sabotage the Institutes experiments involving a biker drug gang psychics stock fraud and a horde of one-minute piranhas made by experimental computer genechips. Few heed Eds warnings that this water is from the spirit world and that their best protection will not be science but charms and incantations. Brisk dialogue and a tight roller-coaster plot leaves the reader guessing until the last page. A plot worthy of the movies say reviewers in this speculative sci-fi novel based on the ideas of the famous physicist Stephen Wolfram.
