I reread this because I wanted to know why I had given it 2 stars without a review. And yep, the 2 stars is totally deserved. This book was just a really pointless exercise in… everything? For a story in the Forward Collection, it’s basically a contemporary, especially since it doesn’t even meaningfully discuss the issue at hand (genetic engineering) and instead decides to veer off into

Spoiler

the whole company being a military conspiracy

. It’s just all very uninspiring and the main character is annoying and I wanted to smack him on the head and tell him to get over himself multiple times.

Lyrical but also grounded, which isn't how most sci-fi I read usually goes. A nice surprise.

Also grew to love David Harbour's audio narration, even though I wish there wasn't so much Hollywood stunt casting in these Amazon originals.
