First of multiple 5 star reviews on Amazon.com:

 

Wow! This needs to be a movie. From the first page Cochran skillfully weaves a narrative with credible characters, a plot with twists, turns, surprises--packed with action. Mix all this with Cochran's fascinating primers on medical advances, technological wizardry and Asian martial arts--you won't be bored. But the book is not all flash and dazzle. There are deeper social issues such as stem cell research that the book forces you to confront. In a word, the antagonists are not fully evil, nor do the good guys always get it right. And out of its pages leap situations that reinforce the global Big Brother spying that Snowden only recently uncovered. Stem of Evil leaps from the pages of our contemporary existence. Pretty amazing for a first book. Can't wait for Cochran's Book 2.
