5 Things You Should Know About Unnatural, Erica
Rosen Trilogy Book 1
- The book is a medical thriller and is based on
real science and medicine. I applied knowledge from my education in
biochemistry (Ph.D.) and medicine (M.D.) in writing it. My descriptions of
laboratories and medical facilities come mostly from first-hand knowledge.
- The plot begins to take form when Erica Rosen, a
San Francisco pediatrician, meets a child newly-arrived from China with
blue eyes, a seeming impossibility. Erica discovers the child had
undergone embryonic stem cell gene editing at a secret Chinese government
facility.
- You will learn things, mostly related to genetic
engineering, and you will travel from San Francisco to Shanghai and several
other cities in China.
- The dangers surrounding the human genetic
engineering Erica discovers come to a conclusion at the end of the novel,
but you will become attached to the characters and their ongoing problems,
so you will want to read Book 2 of the trilogy.
- Book 2 of the trilogy, Unwitting, will be
published in October 2021.

PRAISE
A compelling and richly woven story, perfect for those looking for their new favorite thriller!
The UC San Francisco pediatric clinic is a lively and bustling facility where every sort of injury and infirmity has been seen, diagnosed and treated. That is, until the day a Chinese migrant named Ting brings her daughter in for an evaluation. The striking girl is truly an anomaly, bearing genetically impossible bright blue eyes. Dr. Erica Rosen presses Ting for information, but Ting is paranoid, evasive and overly protective of her family’s privacy. Things become more puzzling when Ting ends up in the ER with a wounded young son and insists that someone is trying to kill the boy. Shocking test results, a second attempt on the boy’s life and a missing phlebotomist are just the beginning of a riveting tale of government conspiracy, medical mystery and dangerous close-calls.
Unnatural is a flawlessly written medical thriller that focuses on a Chinese mother who will sacrifice everything to save her children. Erica is a bold protagonist who follows her instincts to some amazing discoveries. The narrative is driven by intelligent dialogue and a clever, yet heinous, plot. The cultural aspects between Ting and Erica feel authentic and the technical medical language is just complicated enough to feel genuine without becoming difficult to read. Deven Greene has created a truly gripping international thriller with just the right amount of humanity and compassion. Unnatural, the first in the Erica Rosen MD Trilogy, is a compelling and richly woven story, perfect for those looking for a new favorite thriller!
