About this audiobook

Dan Wells' Extreme Makeover is a satirical new suspense about a health and beauty company that accidentally develops a hand lotion that can overwrite your DNA.

Lyle Fontanelle is the chief scientist for NewYew, a health and beauty company experimenting with a new, anti-aging hand lotion. As more and more anomalies crop up in testing, Lyle realizes that the lotion's formula has somehow gone horribly wrong. It is actively overwriting the DNA of anyone who uses it, turning them into physical clones of someone else. Lyle wants to destroy the formula, but NewYew thinks it might be the greatest beauty product ever designed--and the world's governments think it's the greatest weapon.

New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells brings us a gripping corporate satire about a health and beauty company that could destroy the world in Extreme Makeover.

Ratings and reviews

This began in a very interesting and intriguing story. The characters felt realistic and the plot unique. But about 3/4 of the way through it began to veer off into nonsense. Imho, if the author had ended the book some where in that area it would've been a great book. however, the last 4th and ending was not good. There were several ways even I could think of too end this that would've made a lot more sense. abreast, that's just me! perhaps you'll like it!
