Category: Fiction

Richard Lieberman is the author of two critically-acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling books.

Bad Seed is a business/legal thriller featuring the brilliant, beautiful research scientist Aurora Blanc. It follows her sensational rise from penniless student to potentially-sociopathic Silicon Valley billionaire. Bad Seed reads as if Michael Crichton had teamed up with John Grisham. Both an important work of fiction and a genuine page turner, Bad Seed explores our 21st century concerns about cutting-edge GMO science. This book announces a new fiction talent and will do for genetically-modified food what Jaws did for beach holidays. In Aurora Blanc, the Instagram Age finds its ideal villain, and in Rabbi Smith, her implacable, humble adversary, we locate a new kind of American hero.

Expertly researched,Bad Seed reveals haunting details about the mechanics of genetically modified food. Compulsively readable, it’s equal parts engaging and terrifying. You’ll wish this compelling novel were science fiction. — Tasha Alexander
