Synopsis
In 2045 Kenneth Durand leads Interpol's most effective team against genetic crime, hunting down black market labs that perform 'vanity edits' on human embryos for a price. But as he gets closer to identifying who is behind these augmented embryos, his enemies start tracking him, too, until he ends up being dosed with a radical change agent and genetically transformed into someone else: the very man responsible for the crime. Now he must restore his original DNA before he is captured by his colleagues who won't possibly believe he is who he claims.

Review
Advance Praise for CHANGE AGENT:
"Besides being a rockin' thriller, Change Agent is a vivid depiction of where ubiquitous gene editing might take us. I came away believing I'll be less surprised by the future."
-Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick for Wired and New York Times bestselling author of The Inevitable
"The action scenes are plenty lively, [but] the best thing about the book is its depiction of a troublesome future in which people can change physical identities the way they change clothes...A natural at making future shocks seem perfectly believable, Suarez delivers his most entertaining high-tech thriller yet." -Kirkus
"The depth and sophistication of Suarez's dystopian world--not to mention his facility at making complex science intelligible to the nonexpert--rivals anything Michael Crichton ever did." -Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"The ultimate form of identity theft is just a genetic edit away in Suarez's newest fast-paced, speculative thriller...Offer this to Michael Crichton and science fiction-suspense fans." --Booklist
