Rachael Leben believes her abusive ex-husband, Eric, is dead after a violent traffic accident. However, Eric’s corpse vanishes from the morgue, reanimated by an experimental genetic serum he developed to achieve immortality. As his body undergoes hideously rapid mutations, Eric stalks Rachael through the streets of California, driven by a primal need for vengeance. Rachael and her companion, Ben Shadway, flee from both the regenerative monster and a ruthless government agency determined to cover up the failed biological experiment before the contagion spreads.
Readers who enjoy high-speed techno-thrillers and biological horror will find this narrative efficient. It targets fans of suspense who appreciate a mixture of scientific hubris and kinetic chase sequences. The book provides a detailed look at the consequences of uncontrolled genetic engineering and the psychological profile of a stalker. A reader finishes the story with a clear understanding of survival tactics in urban environments and the lethal risks associated with corporate secrecy and unchecked medical ambition.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
