"Abuse of Power" - Charles E. Moore

Join this father and son as they team up with the famous neuroscientist Doctor Bub and his friend Sam Miller to genetically engineer an army of mice to become smarter. But to what end?

The father, George, is employed by a lab in Memphis while enjoying the beauty of this small town of Caruthersville, Missouri.

While this is a fiction novel, one must wonder about the truthfulness of this story as it is told in such a convincing way. There are parts of the story that are factual and of historical significance.

Readers will be challenged to determine which is true and what is fiction. The dictatorship in Venezuela is quite real as are the characters portrayed. Also, the war Putin thrusts upon Ukraine really happened as did Russia's pledge of sovereignty of Ukraine in an agreement forged by President Clinton in 1994. What about the historical significance of NATO connecting North America with Europe and its effect on a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine? Is the character indicated as the President true or fiction. These events are true and really occurred. But what about the mice?

If only the mice could become as smart as man as this novelist portrays, making the possibility of "Peace on Earth" a reality. Is it possible for fiction to become a reality?
