My new novel, Kong Reborn, has been released from ibooks (New York) and should be getting into stores very soon. This is a sequel to the original 1933 King Kong movie, set in the present and near future, and obviously in the world in which the original events of the movie took place. The premise is that samples of blood from the original Kong, who was killed by military planes in 1933, are used in a scientific race to clone the giant ape.

Apart from involving action and adventure, this plot also allows for a certain amount of (sympathetic) discussion of cloning, genetically modified food, and other biotechnology. Just for once, this is not a bioconservative thriller about genetic science.
