CHERRY HILL, N.J., Aug. 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xlibris, the leading print-on-demand self-publishing services provider, announces the release of Changing Skins, an engaging science fiction novel featuring the imagination of author Len Dabundo.
Set in the Jersey Pinelands, Changing Skins follows the exploits of Dr. Bob Birchwood, a microbiology professor running a lab and animal farm. While working on a "tanning pill" and attempting to undo the effects of a bad case of Vitiligo on a young African-American boy, he discovers a way to easily change people's skin color. Involved in his discovery are a pair of marijuana addicted gorillas, the two locals who are growing the herb, and two young female biologists. Disastrous happenings ensue as the professor's startling discovery sets loose a chain of events involving a Philadelphia drug lord and enraged animal rights activists. Could this mark the end of Birchwood's ambitious plans? The outcome awaits readers.
Richly layered and intriguing, Changing Skins strongly emphasizes the consequences that result from altering the very fabrics of nature and life. It is a moral tale that will keep readers thinking until the very end. With controversial scientific developments like Cloning and Stem Cell Research making waves in the news, this book is the most timely science fiction story to read today.
