Chimera

De: Mira Grant

Narrado por: Christine Lakin

From New York Times bestselling author Mira Grant comes the final book in the terrifying Parasitology series.

The outbreak has spread, tearing apart the foundations of society, as implanted tapeworms have turned their human hosts into a seemingly mindless mob.

Sal and her family are trapped between bad and worse, and must find a way to compromise between the two sides of their nature before the battle becomes large enough to destroy humanity, and everything that humanity has built. . . including the chimera.

The broken doors are closing. Can Sal make it home?

"A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton." —John Joseph Adams on Parasite

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton."—John Joseph Adam on Parasite

"Readers with strong stomachs will welcome this unusual take on the future."—Kirkus Reviews on Parasite

"Fans of [the Newsflesh] series will definitely want to check this new book out. But fans of Michael Crichton-style technothrillers will be equally enthralled: as wild as Grant's premise is, the novel is firmly anchored in real-world science and technology."—Booklist on Parasite

"Grant extends the zombie theme of her Newsflesh trilogy to incorporate thoughtful reflections on biomedical issues that are both ominously challenging and eerily plausible. Sally is a complex, compassionate character, well suited to this exploration of trust, uncertainty, and the price of progress."—Publishers Weekly on Parasite

"It's a well-grounded medical wariness that gets at the heart of the what the Parasitology series will be asking: What happens when the cure is worse than the disease?"—NPR Books on Parasite

"An exceptionally creepy medical-horror thriller that's the perfect spine-tingling read for Halloween...[a] roller coaster ride."—RT Book Reviews on Parasite (4 1/2 stars)

"Deft cultural touches, intriguing science, and amped-up action will delight Grant's numerous fans."—Publishers Weekly on Deadline

"The zombie novel Robert A. Heinlein might have written."—Sci-Fi Magazine on Feed

"A masterpiece of suspense."—Publishers Weekly on Feed (Starred Review)

Cliche?

Oh you know, just your stereotypical ending to zombie"esk" tapeworm outbreak. Everyone lives happily ever after, and the bad guy dies. Blah, Blah, Blah..... I enjoyed the series, but I was just hoping for something a little more than pizzazz!

Great end to the trilogy

Mira Grant does is again, she wraps a trilogy of deep characters, actions and exciting original events to a satisfying ending. I thoroughly enjoyed both the work of the author and narrator. The narrator brought the characters to life. I highly recommend this book.

excellent read

so far I have enjoyed all of her books writing as mira grant . they are plausible interesting and most importantly hold your attention throughout. sadly I cannot say the same of the book I tried of her writing as seanan mcquire

Pretty solid conclusion to a pretty solid series

I enjoyed the first book immensely. So I listened to the rest. This book was solid. There were a few portions I found a bit forced, but overall, I was satisfied. Sal is a solid character. The narrator was very good and the audio quality was perfect. If you’re hankering for a solid end of the world saga, this one isn’t the greatest, but it is good.

Amazing!

The characters were so well developed that I felt I knew them. What a incredible series. Many hours of sleep were gladly lost. I couldn’t stop listening. I’ve never listened to an entire series of books without stopping.

As always...

Mira freaking Grant, can I just learn how to better write from you? Or just be your friend, seriously? I love every book of hers I've ever read. And this series? This was my favorite. I have already recommended this series to others but I needed to write this to hopefully sway even more people. Not to mention Christine Lankin is a stunningly good vocal performer. Do you like cunning heroines who do what they want no matter how bad an idea is? Or what about realistic romantic relationships that don't feel like they're shoehorned in? Maybe a little bit of oh, crap how's this going to work out tension? Stop reading my lame review, go download this audiobook so you can feel oddly attracted to a female doing a male British accent like me.

great books

loved every bit of it 💗💗💗 Great story and loved the ending hope you write more.

outstanding!

I loved the entire series! Mira Grant tells an amazing story! This is the fourth book of hers I've listened to and now that the series is done, I'm off to find more.

Fascinating spin

A horrifying potential scenario presented with a sci-fi twist. What more could happen to the human race, than to have our minds and bodies taken over by tapeworms and the human part shut out and killed within a still-living body?

Amazing

Every aspect of this piece (and series) was brilliantly done , in my opinion. I enjoyed the amount of research that was clearly put into this book.
