Ratings and reviews

I read this book in high school only 15 at the time the big works slowed me down until I started skipping them all together. The story grabbed me so tight I couldn't allow my vocabulary to slow me down. So the first time I read it was the most exciting. When I got the dictionary the second time it kind of scared me.

The king of the medical thriller brings us one of the most exciting books that he's ever written. This is one of his books that leans heavily into the science fiction genre, but the science described within is all too possible. I love the questions that this book raises more than I enjoyed the science itself. I highly recommend that you read this novel.

Informative and intertaining. I love the ending page turner and fast paced just love it
