The Bloodthirst Gene

By: Hannah Ross

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Violence is a genetic trait necessary for human survival. Or is it?

A New Zealand scientist makes a brilliant discovery: the Anai, a unique tribe living in a warm microclimate pocket in Antarctica, lack the genes for hostility and aggression prevalent in all other human populations. These genes have been bred out of the Anai during the lengthy period of isolated existence in extreme climatic conditions. Quite simply, those who were incapable of peaceful cooperation with other members of the tribe have died out in the course of time.

This discovery leads to a revolutionary idea: could the genetic makeup of humankind be altered in a way that eradicates violence, aggression, and warlike tendencies, eliminating armed conflict and creating a utopian society? It sounds almost too good to be true. And perhaps it is, because messing with genetics can get risky.

You can enjoy this New Generation Frozen World book even if you are unfamiliar with the previous volumes of the series, but those who have read books 1-3 will find themselves transported back to the beloved setting of the idyllic Anai Valley, with a mix of old and new characters and a whole lot of exciting adventures.
