BOOK: Gene by Stel Pavlou

This tale of reincarnation and revenge follows the battle of two men across 3,000 years. Stel Pavlou’s novel brings the savage world of ancient war to the modern day streets of New York. Greek warrior Cyclades is killed at Troy but is cursed to be reborn seven times. His nemesis Athanatos, a Babylonian mage, has been keeping himself alive by passing on his memories. Athanatos' struggle to find the genetic secret that allows Cyclades to be reborn blends hard science and drama. Unfortunately, while it takes time for the tension to build, in the end it's all for nothing as the story peters out with a disappointing conclusion.
