About this title

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
