Publisher's summary

It lives.

In a research hangar in Virginia, a Unit 51 team studies an ancient but long-dormant virus that can transform human physiology - and turn it into something else.... 

It mutates.

In the Amazon rain forest, a newly evolving life form known as Subject Z acquires the ability to think conceptually, build elaborate traps, create new carriers - and spawn a new race....

It spreads.

In Mexico and Turkey, the men and women of Unit 51 race to uncover a global link between the mutations: a connection as ancient as the oldest tombs on earth - and as alien and unknowable as the universe itself. But time is running out. The infected are growing in number. And the nightmare is going viral.

Review of Mutation

I did not care for the narrator. It was difficult for me to hear/understand the words. Seemed to be a hushed whisper. Also, I had a difficult time following and understanding the story. Normally I love this authors work. I could not get into this at all. Did not finish the last four hours. I give it four stars overall because I bet others will enjoy it more than I did.

Mutation

I absolutely enjoyed this 3 book series. Author Michael McBride has created sci-fi thriller that will keep you at night. Hi-tech researchers, scientists and explorers will have to confront an assortment of bad guys throughout the world in a race to save themselves and mankind.
If you have a difficult time stopping in the middle of the excitement, I highly recommend the performance s by Neil Hellegers. The action never has to stop.

Read the prequels first.

This is not a good stand alone book. Read the other two books in the series first.
