| Plot Summary of Ninth Day of Creation |
|---|
"Crane's novel is a fast paced techno-thriller that doesn't let go. Richard Kirby has just discovered a cure for AIDS and gained the attention of the world. But before he can enjoy his new fame he finds himself caught in the middle of a conspiracy that starts at Imtech, the research company he works for, and moves through to the highest levels of world power. If your a Tom Clancy fan you'll enjoy this great read from Leonard Crane."
