A compelling novel based on the high-stakes biotech industry and
the science behind Viagra from the internationally known "Father of
the Pill." The fourth installment of Carl Djerassi's pioneering
"science-in-fiction" tetralogy tells the story of a husband and
wife team who devise new solutions to problems associated with sex
and reproduction. Renu Krishnan is an Indian-born,
American-educated scientist who discovers how NO (nitric oxide) can
help men with erectile dysfunction-the scientific rationale behind
Viagra. At the same time, her husband, Israeli scientist Jephtah
Cohn, develops a new approach to ovulation prediction, which is
also based on factual research. When Wall street gets wind of their
discoveries, the couple catapults in the fast paced world of
lawyers and IPOs, where scientists are now a hot commodity. Deftly
exploring the demanding worlds of academia and high finance,
Djerassi brings back many characters from his three earlier novels
for a satisfying conclusion.
