Author Description

From Brett Lane, winner of The Novelist Season One comes The Cain Children: In the not so distant future, scientists stumbled upon a discovery. They learned to isolate and identify the gene in a child’s DNA that makes them susceptible to killing for pleasure, to become a serial murderer. Not every child with the gene kills, but every serial killer has this gene, called the Cain gene after the first murderer in the bible. There is no cure for the gene and since not every child with the gene kills, a new government agency called the Guardians is created. They are instituted to monitor the children born with the genes and to take appropriate actions once the genes manifests itself and they prove to be killers. Only carriers of this gene can pass it along to their children, so even those that don’t kill, can sire children that may. This is the dilemma - end the outbreak by possibly killing the innocent, or eliminate all carriers to end all possible murder in the future. Follow the story of the Cain children as well as the Guardian program scientists that monitor them while posing as their parents. What do they do when they find out the children are on the wrong path? What would happen if a child finds out he is being monitored by the program? What happens to the innocent children in the program? This book is not for the faint of heart as it contains descriptive accounts of murders, rape, and torture.
