Protected in a removable Brodart cover. Stated First Edition: August 2003 with full number line.. 1.08 x 9.6 x 6.38 Inches. 336 pages. Signed by Author. It is a new crime for a new century. Biopiracy: the theft of the healing secrets of isolated, indigenous peoples. Rapacious pharmaceutical companies swoop down on remote Third World tribes, steal their folk medicine, native cures, and even human blood, then reap tremendous profits from the patents. 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 life-and his family-in danger. .
