About
Welcome to the underground world of garage biotech.
Owen Chancellor is a college kid biopunk with a garage lab, a circuit’s eye for recognizing patterns, and he’s had it with the stagnant state of medicine. His beloved brother is dying from an untreatable disease, already living off stolen time. Desperate and burnt out on the orthodox system of investigational drug testing, Owen searches on his own for a cure until an accidental self-injection changes the course of his research and the startling results have him running for his life…
His professor is shot dead, and Owen is the next target. His reflexes now changing in frightening, unexplainable ways, Owen races for answers only to learn he’s infected himself with a ticking bomb.
Built on up-to-the-minute scientific knowledge, KNOCKDOWN takes you headlong into this emerging world of revenge, redemption, and aspirations so vast they cannot be grounded.
