The outrageous and controversial San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller by Kemble Scott, pen name for fiction of Scott James, whose columns appear in The New York Times and The Bay Citizen. In a remote corner of the world where the Armenian Genocide took place a scientist discovers a virus that could change the course of mankind. But unlocking the secret of the virus, and learning the surprising way the infection spreads, turns into an international chase – with powerful forces who will do anything to obtain the virus and its secret. Set in a “what if?” alternative version of the present day, The Sower is a page-turning thriller that’s also biting commentary on today’s culture wars. This 2.0 edition has been updated for 2010.
