About this Product

"This is a strong bet for thriller fans." --Library Journal

"Starts fast and never lets go. ...it reads fresh and excit-ing. Mr. Fishmans pac-ing is flaw-less and the nar-ra-tive superbly enter-tain-ing. The writ-ing style is intel-li-gent and the action sequences are beau-ti-fully executed." --Man of la Book blog

"The novel starts strong and never lets up. Author J.E. Fishman has an excellent sense of pacing, and while the expected genre conventions are met, Primacy feels fresh and often unexpected..." --Sciencethrillers

"a magnificent job"..."This debut novel is a marriage of medical thriller, along the lines of Robin Cook, to fear on a scale you have never experienced, as typically brought to readers by Michael Crichton." --Suspense Magazine

An "appealing debut thriller... Those with an interest in animal rights will be particularly enthralled." -- Publishers Weekly

A New Species of Suspense

Tens of thousands of monkeys and apes suffer in animal testing labs. If just one of them could speak, what might it say and whose interests would it threaten?

Researcher Liane Vinson thinks she can handle her promotion to the primate lab at Pentalon, the worlds biggest and most secretive animal testing facility. Going along to get along, shell ignore both the vitriol of animal rights protestors outside the front gates and the cold calculus that her bosses use to distance themselves from their subjects behind closed doors. But when Liane discovers that one of her favorite apes, a young bonobo called Bea, has shockingly developed the ability to speak, all her doubts awaken--doubts about right and wrong, about following the rules, and about sacrificing individuals to the supposedly greater good.

Shed spare this unique being the knife if she could, but only Axel Flickinger, Pentalons cold-hearted CEO, holds the power of life and death within the closely monitored laboratory. If theres any chance of rescuing Bea, Liane will need to involve her neighbor, Mickey Ferrone, a rough-hewn veterinarian with his own grievances. Soon, at risk of life and limb, Liana and Mickey must challenge forces almost beyond their comprehension: a malevolent corporation, a venal federal government, an animal rights movement thats lost its way--and all of our assumptions about mans primacy in nature.

If you love animals, this novel will hold you on the edge of your favorite reading chair.
