Dorianne Ashe’s The Eden Falls Chronicles begins in 2037, when a routine blood test on newly sworn-in President Marcus Hale leads White House physician Dr. Elias Renn to an ancient genetic marker in his DNA. The sequence appears engineered, connecting Marcus to human bloodlines altered thousands of years earlier by beings remembered in scripture as Fallen Angels. Elias begins searching global medical data for matching carriers as Marcus keeps the discovery inside a small White House circle. A worldwide screening program disguised as a health-readiness initiative soon turns up another match in Matteo Ashford di Rossi, a Vatican cultural liaison whose family has guarded Church records for centuries. With the Serpent Gene emerging inside people positioned close to global power, Marcus must decide what humanity should learn about where it came from.
Dorianne Ashe’s The Eden Falls Chronicles takes dystopian science fiction firmly into nightmare territory, using three connected stories to push genetic experimentation across a global canvas. The author has a gift for setting, giving each location an atmosphere you can picture. You see it in the hidden Monroe tunnels beneath the White House, where damp brick passages lead toward a sealed chamber during a procession underground. Afton Munk is excellent as a technology magnate, with his Tokyo penthouse glowing beneath network diagrams spread across a transparent desk. The Vatican setting has the same cinematic quality, as candle smoke hangs through the Apostolic Palace under the watch of Swiss Guards. Investigative reporter Daniel Rourke brings a powerful human perspective, especially during his search through an abandoned New York subway toward a bunker crowded with monitors. Readers drawn to dystopian science fiction with global scope should put this on their reading list. Very highly recommended.
