Josh McDonald and his childhood friend Adam Barnes are accidentally infected by a highly communicable viral vector containing super-charged DNA that rejuvenates the humane genome so as to prevent disease, regenerate damaged or lost tissue and reverse the aging process. Adam wants to leverage his immortality to assert global dominance. Josh, prodded by his quirky but kind-hearted girlfriend Belinda, hopes to thwart Adam's power grab by spreading the contagion to as many people as possible. Who wins in the ensuing struggle as the virus diffuses rapidly around the globe?

3 1/2 stars actually, I found this book took a bit to get started and the writing felt a bit off in places, but once I fell into the groove of the writing and the flow I enjoyed the story. The characters were interesting and kept my interest, the bad guy was truly bad. The ending of the super bad guy was fulfilling, he needed to go.
With the threat of a super virus that can kill millions, I liked the way the book made immortality a virus instead of a disease and yet was it the best for the people of earth. I think most readers would enjoy this book and find the concept interesting and fun to read. The characters make the story come to life.
Check out this book.

May have slight spoilers.
I have very mixed feelings on this book, which made rating it very hard for me.
In this book we meet Josh McDonald an accountant. We also meet his very ambitions and slightly crazy friend Adam Barnes, a Homeland Security agent. When we first meet them they are together and Adam is discussing things when they are unexpectedly infected with some kind of DNA that heals the human body insanely fast. This is the start of almost catastrophic event for the world.
Adam being who he is wants to use the 'virus' that has caused his new 'immortality' to control the world. Josh just wants to impress his girlfriend Belinda. But she then convinces him that they should help people with it.
One thing that caused my mixed feelings was Belinda. Yes, she had a good idea and cause but I think she should have thought on of the long-term effects and for most of the book, to me, she ended up sounding almost as crazy as the power-hungry Adam just with more of a fanatic I-am-going-to-save-you side to her, though I do think things turned out for the best in the end. So that is one of the reasons I had such a hard time rating the book. Another was Josh and how he was well, not the step up and take action kind of man I am used to in books. I usually prefer a more alpha hero, then again in the end I do think Josh learned a lot and grew up some, in the end saving them all.
The beginning of the book started out kind of slow and well not very attention grabbing to me but as the book goes on I think everyone and thing evolves in a satisfactory way concluding with character development and a good solid ending that left me wondering what would happen next.
I think I would recommend this book to anyone, it had a feel that is contemporary but still feels kind of fantasy to me and it does make one question what if throughout the book. Especially of how the government is portrayed as the bad guys even if Adam was the main one.

To story started out a bit slow to me but picked up and was good as it went along. Josh and Adam who are good friends get infected with a virus that helps heal. Of course now one of them, Josh wants to take over the world and Adam and his crazy girlfriend want to help others. Is it right to push things on other people? That is one way Peters has us looking at the story and of course there are other ways.
The characters were pretty good. I did want to know how the virus got to Josh and Adam in the first place, but this makes part of the mystery a bit fun. I would like to read another book by this author. I like his ideas and his research as you can tell is well thought out and done right.
