Description
New York Times best-selling author Robin Cook takes on the cutting-edge world of gene modification in this pulse-pounding new medical thriller.
When an unidentified, seemingly healthy young woman collapses suddenly on the New York City subway and dies upon reaching the hospital, her case is an eerie reminder for veteran medical examiner Jack Stapleton of the 1918 flu pandemic. Fearful of a repeat on the 100th anniversary of the nightmarish contagion, Jack autopsies the woman within hours of her demise and discovers some striking anomalies: first, that she has had a heart transplant, and second, that, against all odds, her DNA matches that of the transplanted heart.
Although the facts don't add up to influenza, Jack must race against the clock to identify the woman and determine what kind of virus could wreak such havoc - a task made more urgent when two other victims succumb to a similar rapid death. But nothing makes sense until his investigation leads him into the fascinating realm of CRISPR/CAS9, a gene-editing biotechnology that's captured the imagination of the medical community...and the attention of its most unethical members. Drawn into the dark underbelly of the organ transplant market, Jack will come face to face with a megalomaniacal businessman willing to risk human lives in order to conquer a lucrative new frontier in medicine - and if Jack's not careful, the next life lost might be his own.

Not as Exciting as Most Cook Books but Worth it
Not Robin Cooks best but definitely a decent read. I did struggle with the narrator, he is not clear and sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles...you get used to it once you are a few chapters in.

A bit disappointing
Overall I found the book interesting but lacking in the end. it was alright but definitely not up to the previous standard of Robin Cook's books. The narration also detracted from the experience with the narrator having a very "stop and go" style. I felt like I was listening to Captain Kirk (William Shatner) reading Hamlet.

I read comments about poor narration understandability, so looked for other book in the Jack Stapleton Saga, and was amiss to see the same narrator on all the recent ones. I could not understand him well enough to follow the story. 5% increments, I slowed down the speed, and by 75%, I could better understand him.
Story wise, not his best work, but not bad. Less suspense than Cook's other books. Given the timing, and the current COVID-19 pandemic, I was waiting for the ball to really get rolling, and it never did.
