Embryo House

In the not-too-distant future of Embryo House, the shockwaves of Roe v. Wade have wrought consequences that seven Supreme Court justices never imagined in 1973. The effects of the decision have trickled into the fabric of society without so much as a whisper of alarm. The law has decreed that life begins at birth, and now no one publicly debates it anymore. Enter Dr. Amos Kimbro, whose years of clandestine research have delivered conclusive proof that could shatter the new status quo. His lifelong goal to end abortion may finally come to fruition, but to achieve his dream he must live his nightmare. When a family secret is revealed, Dr. Kimbro and his son, David, find themselves on the run from the police, a pervasive government agency, and a radical pro-life group. Each has its own nefarious uses for Amos and David, and their only source of help is Ron Merritt, an attorney they aren't sure they can trust. With powerful enemies at every turn, Ron Merritt must find a way to keep his client alive long enough to appear in court, but even he doesn't know the full truth. The final secret, once exposed, could open a door no one can close. Embryo House is a technological thriller set in a future that may be closer than anyone wants to believe, where secrets cannot be concealed and killing for profit takes on an entirely new meaning. 'Mark Twain warns of Huckleberry Finn, 'That any person to find a moral in it will be banished...' Phil Rigsby has written an interesting sci-fi novel that clearly and unabashedly contains a moral, indeed a Christian moral, but is developed without being self-righteous, judgmental, or preachy.'
