Mount Dragon
I live in Las Cruces, NM and found the local and adjacent area referred to in the book very on target. The book is both exciting and informative. Gives a small amount of incite into the world of Biotechnology and research. The mystery and crime have been very easily mixed with a true storyline and some fictional history. LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
