Project Cain

The premise of Project Cain by Geoffrey Girard is that the government has secretly raised clones of notorious serial killers.  Now some of them have broken out the “facility” they were being held in and are on a rampage.  Our narrator is one such clone (Jeffrey Dahmer) who was raised by the lead scientist on the project.  He has just discovered the truth about his origins and is co-opted by a government agent type to help find his missing adoptive father and the other clones.

Exciting premise to be sure and as far as plot goes this book is quite interesting.  Unfortunately the author weaves a hell of a lot of pseudo-science & crackpot conspiracy stuff into the narrative.   Now some of this could be to establish the type of individual our narrator is but I’m left wondering how much of this the author actually believes.

All in all a good book for those willing to accept outrageous plots.
