Parasite
Imagine, you survived a terrible car accident and owe your life to an experimental drug. That drug happens to be a genetically modified tapeworm owned by a maniacal corporation. Your current existence is that of a living guinnea pig, but you’ll be allowed to have a boyfriend – who happens to be a parasiteologist – of course.
In Mira Grant’s stunning thriller set in the very-near future, the reader is plummeted into a 1984-esque scenario of corporate experimental medicine, corporate control of life, and Big Pharm influencing politics. Not so off the mark, some might think.
I couldn’t put this book down. It reads so vividly, I caught myself holding my breath. Don’t let the size deter you, it’s a page turner! Great if you need a longer book to burn through car rides or lazy afternoons.
