"A dizzying compilation of action scenes and moral quandaries...Pinkerton wields fast pacing and an entertaining, electrifying plot" - Publishers Weekly
In a secret lab, a team of doctors and scientists funded by a mysterious billionaire create the first human replica entirely from technology. The robot is prepared to host the digitized consciousness of Tom Nolan, a family man suffering from a terminal illness. But when Tom's replica escapes before the transfer can take place, he is faced with the horrors of an alter ego bent on death and destruction. When the experiment draws the attraction of spies, Tom is caught up in an international crisis with a showdown that could change the course of the world.

Reviews
"Surprising plot twists, exciting action... Pinkerton wields fast pacing and an entertaining, electrifying plot."
"Part spy thriller, part SF adventure, Pinkerton's latest is a fast-paced and action packed novel with well-developed characters that will have strong YA and adult appeal."
"The Gemini Experiment is a thrill ride filled with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing and entertained all the way to the stunning conclusion. Brian Pinkerton has created a wonderfully constructed story, frightening in its believability.... an exceptional read."
