Status Updates From L'Échelle de Darwin

I'm a bit irritated at how the main characters are veering into that tired old trope: "I don't care about evidence! What matters is how hard I FEEL that I'm right!" Also with a side serving of acting like irrational nutcases and whining that no one simply believes them instead of asking for proof.

What a cool story so far. I didn't expect to be reading a medical thriller grounded in evolutionary thinking, complete with a well-researched genomic whodunit.

I did not expect my $4 used sci-fi paperback to be about endogenous human retroviruses and the cut-throat politics of CDC funding, but I'm pretty happy that it is!
