A beautifully ingenious, funny, brilliantly intelligent, and moving tale of very human scientists. A splendid novel.Iris MurdochAt the age of 68, distinguished Princeton science professor Max Weiss is bribed into taking an early retirement. Frustratingly aware that his best years are not yet behind him, Weiss devises an inventive revenge in the form of Dr. Diana Skordylisa pseudonym for a partnership among Weiss and three aging colleagues, each with an ax to grind against the scientific community. What the Skordylis group doesnt anticipate, however, is the unbridled success of their venture: the discovery of PCR, one of the most important breakthroughs in contemporary biomedical science. Professional jealousy soon threatens Diana Skordyliss life. As the force of ego tests the bonds of collaboration, the reader is treated to a fascinating glimpse inside the worlds of academia and scientific enterprise.A subtle meditation on scientific personality . . . An odd blend of literature, philosophy, and science writing, as creative as any organic potpourri that Djerassi might have mixed up in his laboratory.The Washington PostThis is a novel of ideas, quite literally, yet it flashes with wit and is often quite charming, thanks to welldrawn characters at ease with mindboggling concepts who talk about them in a downtoearth way.San Francisco Chronicle
