A New Species of Suspense
Tens of thousands of monkeys and apes suffer in animal testing labs. If just one of them could speak, what might it say and whose interests would it threaten?
Researcher Liane Vinson thinks she can handle her promotion to the primate lab at Pentalon, the world's biggest and most secretive animal testing facility. Going along to get along, she'll ignore both the vitriol of animal rights protestors outside the front gates and the cold calculus that her bosses use to distance themselves from their subjects behind closed doors.
But when Liane discovers that one of her favorite apes, a young bonobo called Bea, has shockingly developed the ability to speak, all her doubts awaken--doubts about right and wrong, about following the rules, and about sacrificing individuals to the supposedly greater good.
She'd spare this unique being the knife if she could, but only Axel Flickinger, Pentalon's cold-hearted CEO, holds the power of life and death within the closely monitored laboratory. If there's any chance of rescuing Bea, Liane will need to involve her neighbor, Mickey Ferrone, a rough-hewn veterinarian with his own grievances.
Soon, at risk of life and limb, Liana and Mickey must challenge forces almost beyond their comprehension a malevolent corporation, a venal federal government, an animal rights movement that's lost its way--and all of our assumptions about man's primacy in nature.

J.E. Fishman's first thriller novel does not disapppoint and is a phenomenal piece of work. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes this genre. He handles a number of interesting and controversial topics with complete aplomb and educates without preaching. The story has tons of twists and turns and surprises you even as the book winds down. My test of a great book is how do I feel when I've completed reading it. And, in this case I wanted more and more. I can't wait to read Fishman's next work of art!Product details

Primacy edition by JE Fishman Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Lianne Vinson, a research tech at Pentalon is hiding a secret. In her youth, she was actually arrested as a protester for animal rights, and now here she is working as a researcher and using animals as test subjects.
Her overwhelming guilt finally boils over when twin bonobo chimps are brought to her lab. When she realizes this pair of loveable apes has the amazing power to speak, not just use sign language or mimic sounds, but actually form and pronounce words, she has to break them out. Foiled in her attempt she finally manages to release the female, the Pentalon authorities having already operated on and removed the larynx of the male twin for observation, and so Lianne and Bea have to flee and go underground.
With the help of her veterinarian neighbor, Mickey Farrone--who is harboring a crush on her and would do anything to help--Lianne hooks up with her ex-boyfriend, Corey, who still heads up the secretive organization. Her goal is to get Bea back in the hands of the Congolese government and to place her with her family in the wild.
As implausible as it might be that apes could actually evolve the capability to speak, Fishman does a magnificent job of under-playing this discovery and allows his readers to enjoy the story without heavy-handed application. This debut novel is a marriage of medical thriller, along the lines of Robin Cook, to fear on a scale you have never experienced, as typically brought to readers by Michael Crichton
"Primacy" by J.E. Fishman is a fictional book which covers a lot of ground, both geographically and storywise. The book is partially about animal testing and contains some difficult passages, however it's worth the effort.
Liane Vinson is a researcher in an animal testing facility for Pentalon in Farmngdayle, LI who just got a promotion to work in the monkey lab . However, one of her favorite primates, a bonobo called Bea, starts to display the ability to speak.
Bea becomes an asset to animal rights group and a liability to Pentalon and the government. Endangering her own life and that of her neighbor, the veterinarian Mickey Ferrone, Liane tries to save Bea from certain death and bring her back home from which she was abducted.
"Primacy" by J.E. Fishman starts fast and never lets go. The story revolves around a research ape, type bonobo, who has developed the ability to speak. This great ape, named Bea, doesn't talk in full sentences, but a word here or there. However it is enough for Liane, the book's heroine, to risk everything to save her.
While the book could have easily been rehashed as a genre type it reads fresh and exciting. Mr. Fishman's pacing is flawless and the narrative superbly entertaining. The writing style is intelligent and the action sequences are beautifully executed.
When I first started to read this book I thought "not another animal friendly book" and was waiting for the inevitable tirade to come about animal testing and our treatment of our fellow planet dwellers. To my surprise that tirade never came and the discussion of the moral and ethical issues on both sides is handles very well. However, animal testing and research is portrayed as evil.
The book moves around geographically, but in an even pace and the author doesn't simply drop his characters in an exotic locale but has a reason for them being where they are. I found the characterization to be believable and dimensional, even the bad guys were developed. My favorite character was a government black ops agent for the...Department of Agriculture.
While the book does involve some science, I cannot comment on the passages for better or worst simply because I don't know enough to do so. This is an intelligent book and even though the premise might be far reaching, Mr. Fishman certainly took great care into making it believable.
Author J.E. Fishman had a very interesting career in the book business; his blog is fascinating and enlightening.
While I didn't think that this book provided me with many answers (if there are any), I do believe it posed many thought provoking questions.
Liane Vinson is a veterinary technician in Pentalon, a big animal testing laboratory. After two years, she has been promoted to the primate lab. A pair of bonobo twins captures her interest, Bea and Isaac. They begin to mimic Liane and speak who at first is unclear what they are speaking but soon realizes it is not only their own form of dialect but is decipherable.
When testing is done on the twins, Liane knows that they are on the verge of a scientific breakthrough. But when one of the twins undergoes surgery, Liane questions her own boundaries and decides to escape with Bea and return her to Africa.
Her journey is tumultuous. While worrying about her mother, who desperately needs a kidney, to her new love interest, veterinarian Mickey Ferrone, Liane's life suddenly got rocky. Being chased by Pentalon security, the CEA of Pentalon, agents of the U.S. government, as well as Folks Against Lab Testing steers Liane and Mickey toward her old lover Corey, an eco-fanatic.
Spanning several continents, a vast array of eccentric and versatile characters and an important moral dilemma at the heart, Primacy is a heart-thumping scientific thriller. We know there are animal research labs, but what really goes on behind those closed doors? If it's anything like depicted in Primacy, it will haunt you. But what if it saved someone's life? There are many questions brought up in Primacy and much food for thought. Bea will capture your heart, and the pace is quick and the writing keen. Highly recommend!
Finally got around to reading your book. Kept me riveted. Rigors of the horse business prevents me from reading as much as i would like. Generally cant stay awake to finish. Only nodded off twice! Olivia
Primacy was a first novel I red from Fishman. I was immediately drown to his smart and masculine writing stile. After finishing his novel, I embarked on reading all his other works and cannot wait to hear more form this amazing writer.
