There was a lot about this book that I liked, but I felt like the overall execution of the concept was lacking. This book wanted to be The Troop so bad and just fell short. I think if the author would have created more depth and made the book longer, this could have been a 5-star read. I just wasn’t buying into to the science behind the fungus.

I can't remember the last time I've enjoyed a thriller this much. It's a fun mix of science, characters, and genre tropes that continually plays against expectations. I don't want to give too much away, but it's the story of an extremely adaptable virus that finds its way into the lives of several disparate characters, and how they have to try to save the world from it taking over the world.

The book is extremely well-written and paced, and I loved the characters.

Highly recommended, but not for the squeamish. (It has a killer virus, after all!)
