"An exceptionally creepy medical-horror thriller that's the perfect spine-tingling read for Halloween. I love me an occasional plot-driven book but that doesn't mean that I want the book to be filled with one-dimensional characters, a whole lot of info-dumping of science stuff that is close to making me fall asleep, which is why I just don't care. "It's a well-grounded medical wariness that gets at the heart of what the Parasitology series will be asking: What happens when the cure is worse than the disease?"- NPR Books Anyway, while reading Parasite I came to realize that Mira Grant's work just isn't my cup of tea. Sally is a complex, compassionate character, well suited to this exploration of trust, uncertainty, and the price of progress."- Publishers Weekly "Grant extends the zombie theme of her Newsflesh trilogy to incorporate thoughtful reflections on biomedical issues that are both ominously challenging and eerily plausible.
But fans of Michael Crichton-style technothrillers will be equally enthralled: as wild as Grant's premise is, the novel is firmly anchored in real-world science and technology."- Booklist "Fans of series will definitely want to check this new book out.
"Readers with strong stomachs will welcome this unusual take on the future."- Kirkus Reviews
"A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton."- John Joseph Adams
