Patent to Kill

t's a new crime for a new century. Biopiracy: the theft of the healing secrets of isolated native peoples. Greedy drug companies swoop down on remote third-world tribes, stealing their fold medicine and native cures, then reap tremendous profits from the patents. Some drug companies have even begun to steal human blood...Dr. Jake Scully doesn't want to think that his employer, GenChrom, is exploiting anyone, let alone killing natives for the unique properties of their DNA, but when he tries to blow the whistle on the company's criminal activities, he places his own life--and his family--in danger.
