This story was surprising. The characters, scientists, worked at a lab in an advanced future that had destroyed our planet. That travesty caused mutations that normally occur to be amplified in animals and transferred to humans. Finding the cure was a race and fraught with ill intent, psychological trauma, and dedication to do what is right, humane and urgently needed to save lives.
Surprising, because I expected the characters to be more explored, or
exposed, might be a better word. I wanted to root for them, but I didn’t have a
character identified enough that I loved and cheered for. Maybe a more in-depth
creation would have helped that. Anyway, if I were asked about Adam or his
fellow scientists and what made them tick, I couldn’t really tell you.
It is a good story, but I feel it glides over the top of the
details that would draw one into the center of it, making it memorable and
wanting more. It is a page turner because you want to see if they succeed in
their mission, and the pace is well done. And there is a character you
instinctively dislike; writing about her was not mistaken or questioned,
really. How Ruth set the adversary up is
how she should do the others.
I would still recommend reading the book; it is a good story
and as I said, a page turner. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.
