Lisa and Tom Duffield are professors at Cornell University whose careers are rocketing in different directions. Tom is rapidly becoming the scapegoat for all the History Department’s woes, while Lisa, under the guidance of her mentor Jeff Wolf, is a rising star in the field of genetics.

When Lisa discovers a means to revitalize dead human cells, her career is made, but the excitement of her discovery is shattered by Wolf’s sudden death. Unable to conceive herself, Lisa devises a bold plan—to use a surrogate mother to clone her dead mentor.

When Tom learns of the plan, he’s furious. He’s not adverse to fatherhood, but he despises Wolf. The historian switches out Wolf’s DNA sample with genetic material from the crossbow bolt believed to have killed King Richard the Lionheart. The surrogate, a postdoctoral student by the name of Megan Brack, has placed her trust in the Duffields, who told her the DNA has come from commercial bio-stock.

Three people, each convinced they know the source of the growing baby’s DNA. They’re all wrong. The true nature of the child will trigger events no one can foresee—for good or ill.


A Bolt from the Blue Timothy B Brown 9781508884842 Books

I'm a huge Dan Brown fan, so I found Tim Brown's (no relation) A Bolt from the Blue to be a similar suspenseful read. All the details were so well researched and thought out and the settings and locations around the Cornell campus were very accurate. This was sort of a cross between Digital Fortress and Inferno, with it's own intriguing twists and turns. I thought the characters and their relationships were nicely defined, so that the interpersonal relationships made the whole story seem very plausible.

I found myself having a hard time putting my Kindle down. It feels like there's an opportunity for a sequel here....and I'm ready to read it.

A Bolt from the Blue Timothy B Brown 9781508884842 Books Reviews


This was a great book, a veritable page-turner. Several times reading the book I thought I understood what the book was about, then was surprised by developments. I enjoyed the science and history discussions that informed the plot as well. I definitely left it wanting more--Great read!
This book is hard to put down! Characters you care about, fascinating twists that weave throughout the plot and a really creative premise! What's not to love? This book really met my expectations and more....beautifully blending science and history with relationships and life decisions. Looking forward to more from this author!
Compelling story. Couldn't put it down. A lot of detail, so you'll be tempted to rush through. Begs a sequel. 'Dan Brown meets Michael Crichton lite', and the next book, with the same style and new research, could be a real blockbuster.
Brilliant first book! You’ll learn more about genetics in A Bolt from the Blue than you will in a Genetics 101 course.

Detailed development of each character ranging from the petty and egomaniacal academics, secretive government officials, sensationalist journalists, billionaire philanthropist, all brilliantly mixed with the historic artifacts of the humanities and advanced developments in the biological sciences. The book weaves a community worth of David Lynch!

A great read! If you know a good producer who wants a terrific story for a mini-series or feature film, you should certainly pass this on. They will thank you for it!
I was unable to finish this, something that rarely happens to me. The writing was so poor that I simply did not feel like wasting my time after wading through page after page of descriptions of the Cornell campus. At the point I gave up, after a leisurely tour in which absolutely nothing happened, our heroine decided to have lunch. A considerable time is spent mulling over where to go. Another well-described tour through another part of the campus ensues. Our heroine forgets that she is famished, and stops into the chapel to pray. I gave up.
It seems as if Mr. Brown was being paid by the word.
Ok, you're still reading, so let me give you some non-spoiler information. First, a mild disclaimer I know the author. Secondly, a disclaimer-disclaimer -- I bought the book, have not been compensated in any way, and am not one to sugarcoat my reviews (just ask my brother). If I could, I would give this book 4.5 stars -- it's not perfect, but I enjoyed reading it, enjoy thinking about it, and enjoy talking about it with others who have read it. I'll be honest, it started a little slow for me -- I tend to read mysteries that start fast and stay fast -- but once I got used to the pace, I found myself quite immersed in the story. It builds slowly and finishes strong. I really like way it intertwines the study of medieval history with the study of modern genetics, and the characters and dialogue are believable and entertaining. What more do you need to know? Read the book!
This book gleefully treads the nexus between science, history and religion and reads like a Dan Brown thriller. The author successfully establishes credibility for his amazing premise by clearly outlining the two main characters, Lisa and Tom, grounding them in the 21st century as Cornell University Professors in Genetics and History. Through their quest to fulfill their marriage with the child they are unable to conceive, Lisa's powerful knowledge of her science and her determination to make right a horrible tragedy, combines with Tom's fascination with great figures in history to produce a truly transformational outcome.

You will laugh at the clever puns made from modern cliches and marvel at the scientific detail, and historical accuracy that bolster this fascinating tale and make it believable.

A great read for anyone interested in mystery, science, history and/or religion. It will leave you craving for a sequel!
