When a lone soldier, Cole, arrives with news of Lachlan Agatta's death, all hope seems lost for Catarina. Her father was the world's leading geneticist, and humanity's best hope of beating a devastating virus. Then, hidden beneath Cole's genehacked enhancements she finds a message of hope: Lachlan created a vaccine.

Only she can find and decrypt it, if she can unravel the clues he left for her. The closer she gets, the more she finds herself at risk from Cartaxus, a shadowy organization with a stranglehold on the world's genetic tech. But it's too late to turn back.

There are three billion lives at stake, two people who can save them, and one final secret that Cat must unlock. A secret that will change everything.

ch 1-13
(view spoiler)[ So I am loving this.. Cannot believe I've owned it as long as I have without listening to it. I really like how f'd up this world is. I mean, a virus that makes you explode? And eating flesh from those infected gives you immunity? Holy hell. We've also at this point gotten some glimpses at what Catarina's dad was really like and so far it's not a pretty picture. Anxious to see what other obstacles they are faced with on their way to this lab in Canada.. (hide spoiler)]

ch 14-29
(view spoiler)[ So her old flame Dax (I'm listening not reading so hopefully that is right?) is back with them and I kept waiting for him to turn on her and Cole, expecting him to have been sent by Cartaxus but guess I was wrong. Turns out her dear old doctor friend wasn't content just cutting her open and stealing from her but he was the one to turn her over - just not to cartaxus. I'm digging all the twists and turns this keeps taking us on. And I like this budding romance with Cole. Really curious how things will work out if solving the vaccine coding is supposed to kill her though... (hide spoiler)]

ch 37
(view spoiler)[ SHE SURVIVED!! And they have a vaccine! Thinking it can't be this simple since there's still a couple hours worth of audio here and two more books in the series. (hide spoiler)]

ch 43
(view spoiler)[ Hold up! She's Jun Bei?!?! This is one non stop twisty story! (hide spoiler)]

finished!
(view spoiler)[This was so good! Non stop surprise twists. I hadn't expected Lachlan to be alive still! Super excited to continue in the series and see if the author is able to keep up this level of action and plot twists. (hide spoiler)]
