Parasite (Parasitology Book 1)
<b>From <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Mira Grant comes a vision of a decade in the future, where humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease.</b><br /> <br />We owe our good health to a humble parasite — a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system — even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them.<br /><br />But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives . . . and will do anything to get them.<br /> <br /><b>"A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton." —John Joseph Adams</b><br /> <br /> <br /><u>More from Mira Grant:</u><br /> <br /><b>Parasitology</b><br /><i>Parasite</i><br /><i>Symbiont</i><br /><i>Chimera</i><br /> <br /><b>Newsflesh</b><br /><i>Feed</i><br /><i>Deadline</i><br /><i>Blackout</i><br /><i>Feedback</i><br /> <br /><i>Rise</i>
