This candid narrative by Nobel laureate, Arthur Kornberg,
chronicles the saga of a small biotech start-up, the key players,
the painstaking development of the perfect product, and the
forces affecting its resulting success or failure. Kornberg's razor-sharp wit and provocative opinions make this book a
compelling page turner, whether he is decrying the current
fashion in scientific funding or delving into the hotly contested
PCR patent trial.
