I'd like to thank those people who have read this book, and Virus X before it. I'm pleased to report that the central thesis of both books, the concepts of viral symbiosis and its contribution to holobiontic genomic evolution, has been confirmed by some important new research by colleagues in Sweden involved in the prestigious Human Proteome Project. They did me the honour of including me in a keynote paper on the expression of viral genes in multiple human tissues - more at www.fprbooks.com.

I'm also pleased to inform those who might be interested that I am currently writing a sequel to Virolution that will be published reasonably soon by HarperCollins, who published both the previous books.

It's an exciting and stimulating challenge. I shall keep readers informed on Goodreads.
