Midnight Genes: A Thriller

About

What if your DNA wasn’t yours anymore?

What if you escaped the lab—only to find the world was your next cage?

She was engineered to be unstoppable.

Now Anya—once known only as Subject Sixteen—has broken free from the high-security research facility that created her. She doesn’t know how her powers work. She only knows two things:

  • They want her back.

  • She’s not going quietly.

Across the country, John Reece, an investigative journalist, receives an encrypted message:

“Project Midnight is real. People are dying. Meet me.”

Moments later, his source is dead in his arms—eyes black, blood boiling from within.

The only clue: a phone full of classified files that could get him killed.

Meanwhile, a whistleblower scientist flees with a data drive too dangerous to exist, and a small-town police department is erased in one night.

From three strangers emerges a single truth:

  • Project Midnight isn’t a failure. It’s Phase One.

  • They weren’t designed to survive. They were designed to evolve.

Blending the relentless pacing of Dean Koontz, the biotech intrigue of Michael Crichton, and the shadow-government paranoia of Blake Crouch, Midnight Genes is a nerve-shredding thriller about power, control, and the price of playing god.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Genetic experiments + secret government labs

  • Fast-paced, action-packed thrillers

  • Strong, defiant female leads

  • Human weapon / post-human evolution stories

  • Upgrade, The Girl with All the Gifts, Fractured, Project Hail Mary

What they made isn’t a mistake.

It’s a weapon.

And it just woke up.
