I'm in the process of reading an interesting book from Elizabeth Scarborough entitled: Cleopatra 7.2.

It has to do with a (futuristic) genetic concept called, "Blending" whereby the cellular memories of one being can be transferred to another. Perhaps it could be intestering to share someone's life as they did, even if that person was the famed Queen of the Nile. Perhaps such experiments are not without repercussions. We shall see....

Though they are not my usual dining fare as far as genre is concerned, I have found the books of Dan Brown to be extremely well thought out and presented in a most enjoyable, readable style. They, for the most part, are page turners, where one will often put off eating in order to finish a chapter.

I haven't read all of his books but of the ones I have read and thoroughly enjoyed were Digital Fortress, Angels & Demons, The DiVinci Code and Deception Point.

Digital Fortress concerns itself with the inner workings of the NSA, cryptology, murder and techno-thriller mystery.
Angels & Demons is actually the prequel to The DiVinci Code and should be read first (duh).
Deception Point is a great ride of government secrets, NASA satellites discovering a strange object beneath the Arctic ice, cover-ups, assassins, etc. A thrill a minute!

I have yet to read his latest book, Lost Symbol, but it promises to be even more thrilling and involved than his Angels & Demons / DiVinci Code books. - Can't wait.

That should keep you busy! - Don't forget, you can order these on Amazon's Used Book list for pennies on the dollar!

This was on the USA TV series, The Outer Limits many years ago. Definitely a new spin on androids.

Found this in the BBC news feed.
