Genocide by Gmo

Jim, a PhD molecular biology student, stumbles across a patented barley GMO that appears to have disappeared without any testing. His girlfriend, Maria, working on her masters degree in archaeogenetics, discovers a dramatic and unexplained drop in the birth rate of a small African nation. Further research and assistance from friends and professors at the university lead them to the conclusion that a major agricultural company may be involved with supplying the barley that appears to be the cause of the population decline. Discovering that a local branch of the agricultural company has been deceiving him and monitoring his activities, Jim and Maria must take measures to prevent discovery of the extent of their knowledge. Finally finding the connection among three companies in Africa and the United States, along with a similar GMO that caused sterility, they must now prove the treachery and stop the genocide before an entire population disappears.
