Primacy by J.E. Fishman Review & Giveaway

Liane Vinson is a veterinary technician in Pentalon, a big animal testing laboratory.  After two years, she has been promoted to the primate lab.  A pair of bonobo twins captures her interest, Bea and Isaac.  They begin to mimic Liane and speak who at first is unclear what they are speaking but soon realizes it is not only their own form of dialect but is decipherable.

When testing is done on the twins, Liane knows that they are on the verge of a scientific breakthrough.  But when one of the twins undergoes surgery, Liane questions her own boundaries and decides to escape with Bea and return her to Africa.

Her journey is tumultuous.  While worrying about her mother, who desperately needs a kidney, to her new love interest, veterinarian Mickey Ferrone, Liane's life suddenly got rocky.  Being chased by Pentalon security, the CEA of Pentalon, agents of the U.S. government, as well as Folks Against Lab Testing steers Liane and Mickey toward her old lover Corey, an eco-fanatic.

Spanning several continents, a vast array of eccentric and versatile characters and an important moral dilemma at the heart, Primacy is a heart-thumping scientific thriller.  We know there are animal research labs, but what really goes on behind those closed doors?  If it's anything like depicted in Primacy, it will haunt you.  But what if it saved someone's life? There are many questions brought up in Primacy and much food for thought.  Bea will capture your heart, and the pace is quick and the writing keen.  Highly recommend!
