This title feels a bit more like hard science fiction than Dark Matter and Recursion. But I still enjoyed it very much! I can always trust Blake Crouch to pull me out of a reading slump.
Logan works for the Gene Protection Agency when, on a raid, his life is changed when he receives an upgrade to his own genes. Gene editing and even genetic research is illegal during this time after Logan’s mother’s failed experiment with locusts resulted in millions dead.
We’re taken in a journey through every step of Logan’s transformation, which is described in great detail with scientific accuracy. These parts take a lot of concentration for myself (a non scientist or doctor) and sometimes I skimmed over them a bit. Why did he receive this upgrade? Who gave it to him? And what is the end game?
Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader copy!
