内容简介

当伊西多尔·坎特教授透露他在癌症研究方面的新突破时，科学界为之振奋。康托尔极有前途的研究员杰里迈亚·斯塔福德博士只需进行实验，就能证明这一辉煌的假设并为康托尔赢得诺贝尔奖。但这位年轻的助手将在多大程度上保证实验结果？

卡尔·杰拉西从他作为世界知名科学家的长期职业生涯中汲取灵感，在这部扣人心弦的悬疑小说中描述了驱动科学超级明星的激烈竞争。

"这是一个关于当代科学的道德和政治的精彩故事。激动人心，感人至深，写得很好。"--伊里斯·默多克

When Professor Isidore Cantor reveals his latest breakthrough in cancer research, the scientific community is galvanized. Cantor's most promising research fellow, Dr. Jeremiah Stafford, has only to conduct the experiment that will prove the brilliant hypothesis and win Cantor the Nobel Prize. But how far will the young assistant go to guarantee the results?

Carl Djerassi draws from his long career as a world-famous scientist to describe the fierce competition driving scientific super-stars in this gripping and suspenseful novel.
