FIRST SENTENCE: The recording is crisp enough to look like a Hollywood film, too polished to be real.
SUMMARY: [From BN] A decade in the future, 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.
THOUGHTS: This is such a Grant book that I almost though it was a part of her previous zombie series. I can't really review this book too deeply because the book itself is not that deep. It is, however, incredibly entertaining. You can see the "big reveal" at the end of the book coming a mile away, but that did not lessen my enjoyment of the book. It's well paced. The plot and characters are what you would expect from a summery beach read. If you enjoyed Grant's previous books, you will enjoy this one.
RATING: 7/10 [Very Good]
