Messiah Strain? Miracle Code?
I thoroughly enjoy this author's work, although I am very disappointed with the Messiah Code. Not that it is a terrible book, it is a great novel, but I already read it in the Miracle Strain. When I compared the two, it was word for word the exact same book, but now called the Messiah Code and not the Miracle Strain. I was hoping to be engulfed in a new novel by Mr. Cordy, instead being very let down after asking for, and receiving it for Christmas. I would like to advise Amazon to responsibly disclose the Messiah Code and the Miracle Strain are the same novel well above these reviews. I now, unfortunately, am wary of purchasing a new book from Mr. Cordy at this time, as I am not sure if I will end up re-reading Lucifer in a book called Sneaky Demon.

Why change the title????
Whatever marketing moron thought up the idea of re-issuing 'The Miracle Strain' as 'The Messiah Code' should be shot. Its clearly been done on the back of the success of 'The DaVinci Code', and in my opinion belittles what for me is a cracking technological thriller.

I'd advise anyone to buy this buy (and all of Michael Cordy's books in fact)...but beware if you have already bought this book as 'The Miracle Strain'.

Be careful - this is NOT a new book
This is the 'Miracle strain' with a new cover. Don't be caught out!

It is a good book - but not if you've already read it!
