Bookseller recommendation
“Remember: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Mira Grant offers a near-future parable that is both fascinating and absolutely chilling. A slow burn from paranoia to horror, Grant takes us through a dark mystery of memory and science fiction discovery, where (surprise!) utopia is built upon shaky ground and may not be worth the price. A new modern master of speculative, globally ranged horror. Don’t miss this first of a new trilogy.”
— Jocelyn • Bookshop Santa Cruz
From New York Times bestselling author Mira Grant comes a vision of a decade in the future, where humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease. We owe our good health to a humble parasite — a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system — even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them.But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives . . . and will do anything to get them. "A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton." —John Joseph Adams More from Mira Grant: ParasitologyParasiteSymbiontChimera NewsfleshFeedDeadlineBlackoutFeedback Rise
