thumbnail_trisomy-xxiTexas doctor G.A. Minton, a lifelong fan of horror and science fiction, developed a passion for writing amid highly unusual circumstances. Several years ago, Minton was rear-ended by a drunk driver and suffered a traumatic closed-head injury. Following numerous visits to the neurologist, a slew of neurological testing, and taking Aricept, a medication used to help patients with Alzheimer’s, G.A. slowly regained his mental capabilities. But something was very different: He now had an overwhelming passion to write a tale of horror. Trisomy XXI is the result.

An extraordinary novel that fuses elements of horror, science fiction, mystery, and thriller, Trisomy XXI is the story of Joshua Allen, a sixteen-year-old who was born with an extra chromosome—a genetic aberration known as Trisomy XXI, or Down Syndrome. When a serious accident leaves him in a coma at the hospital, Joshua receives a mysterious injection that endows him with supernatural powers.

The transformed teen is linked to a string of bizarre, unexplained deaths that have both the town’s sheriff and the coroner baffled. But when a ghastly creature from another planet lands on Earth and begins its hunt for Joshua—viciously slaughtering anyone in its path in order to complete its deadly mission—Joshua and his friends are thrust into terrifying circumstances.

What follows is a horrific life-and-death struggle with this seemingly-indestructible extraterrestrial being. The salvation of an entire race of aliens hangs in the balance…

A spine-tingler of the highest order, Trisomy XXI will be released in trade paper and eBook editions on June 6, 2016.
