This is a solid story, fairly engaging overall but really, really science-y sci-fi. Almost overwhelmingly so at times.
It's the story about Logan, who at some point in the near future has been given an upgrade to his DNA that gives him various amazing abilities. I don't want to tell you too much about the plot because it would give away the best parts, but suffice it to say that in the end the book features an all-out battle to save humanity. It's pretty realistic and should put a bit of fear into readers, because everything that happens does feel plausible if not eventually possible.
I really liked the ending and the hopefulness it provided. I'm a fan of Blake Crouch's work, and while I thought this was a decent read, I have liked some of his other books better.
Worthwhile to read, especially if you like science fiction. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator does an excellent job with all of the scientific jargon.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions are my own.

I honestly think it would be better as a movie, there's enough action but the science wouldn't get as bogged down.
Thanks Jayme!
Probably a good choice. It's really not bad though.
I know many people liked it, my husband liked it a lot more than I did! I do like that we're all different, it keeps things interesting.
It's not bad, totally worth reading.
His books are really good!
I liked both Dark Matter and Recursion a little better than this one, but they are all a bit similar. His Wayward Pines series is more horror/thriller to me but I guess it does have some sci fi elements.
I do like his books!
Thanks Meredith, I'm still a fan!
It was pretty good, but I did need to speed it up a bit.
I have had a few good ones, this one was just ok though.
