My Review
I love a good thriller and Lawrence Verigin did not disappoint with Dark Seed! I admit, I was hooked after reading the book's synopsis. Monsanto, farming, and talk of GMO's can be found circulating throughout daily media. It's a major issue in our world and one that personally freaks me out.
Nick Barnes seems to be your average journalist who falls into a complex situation of battling scientists and genetically modified food experiments. A company that portrays themselves as doing good for the planet is actually a very secretive and destructive organization. I feel the characters realistically reacted to dramatic situations. They didn't go from common human to crime-fighting heroes in a split second, there was a believable evolution of their character. 
I enjoyed riding the roller coaster ride of emotions and events with the characters as they attempted to uncover the ecological mystery. Dark Seed is a nail-biter and will have you reading non-stop until the end. Even then, part of the story is left open which means we need Verigin to finish up a follow up to this thriller asap.
