Diseases once tamed by antibiotics have morphed, becoming impervious to drugs. The health care system and much of society has crashed as what were once commonplace illnesses and infections now spread rapidly and kill. But there is one anomaly. A boy whoโ€™s never been sick and makes anyone around him better. 

This was a fast paced and entertaining thriller with dystopian vibes:
๐Ÿฆ  evil rich guy
๐Ÿฆ  corrupt government officials
๐Ÿฆ  shady mercenaries 
๐Ÿฆ  a cop who bucks the system 
๐Ÿฆ  a teenage who could save humanity

The audiobook narration by Robert Pertkoff was great. I thoroughly enjoyed this wild and hair-raising story. Itโ€™s not too science or medical heavy and thereโ€™s lots of action. I can definitely see this being turned into a movie or limited series. This is a great choice for fans of Michael Crichton and Robin Cook. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

QOTD: what are you reading or listening to? I need to find a new audiobook.
