    About this audiobook

    Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award Winner, Best Science Fiction Novel

    Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Finalist

    A single raindrop opens a Pandora’s box when the spawn of perverse genetic research performed during World War II is unleashed on an unsuspecting modern world. By dawn, only a dead city remains, eerily quiet and still, except for mutant beasts that hide from the light, multiply, and await the shadows of night to continue their relentless advance.

    Ordered to investigate the unfolding crisis, biowarfare specialist Carolyn Ridenour barely escapes the creatures’ nocturnal onslaught, saved in the nick of time by Colonel Garrett Hoffman, who lost hundreds of his troops to a swarm that neither bombs nor bullets can stop.

    As Carolyn and Garrett race to stop the plague, a battered and broken government prepares to release the fury of America’s nuclear arsenal on its own soil and its own citizens.

    The Gemini Effect was originally published as The Mengele Effect. This edition has been completely edited and revised, including significant plot changes.

      Formulaic and predictable. So many holes in the plot. The reader was excellent though.

      Just when genius and masterful storytelling shine brilliantly, the craftsmanship is dismantled, leaving the power of the story behind.

      The book had its ups and downs…

      What a phenomenal book, this had me glued to every minute I could hardly put it down. I’m prior army, so it’s spoke to me in a lot of ways knowing the protocol the author did their homework, and I truly appreciate that.

    • 5/5
      I just got really into it from the beginning and the suspense, suprises, well drawn characters (including the ones you come to Hate!) and even small amounts of humour sprinkled through all simmered nicely for me, although this book is very dark at times, and violent so it might not work for everyone
