Description
Book SynopsisIn a future much nearer than you think, where scientific experimentation is exploited for commercial profit, unwisely under-supervised cutting-edge technology creates a menace that threatens the very fabric of human existence.
Trade Review “Moalem and Kraus highlight some clever scientific concepts as the narrative details the variety of health problems that plague the Sammy Rats—and the sometimes barbaric methods employed to solve these issues . . . . Sienna and Noah prove ambitious and dynamic as pressure to perform brings out the absolute worst in them.” —Publishers Weekly
“Animals communicating or acting strangely is creepy; rats, in particular, give the book an extra level of sinister vibes. Add in that the rats can talk to humans, and you have an unsettling narrative that will leave you unable to look at rodents the same way again.” —Booklist
“Reading like a cross between a blockbuster movie, a hard sci-fi thriller, and a rumination on the very ethics of animal experimentation. Wrath is a thrill ride from start to finish. It’ll make you laugh, cry, and quiver in fear all in the same chapter. It’s the kind of book that digs into your brain and stays with you long after you’ve read it.” —Geek Vibes Nation
“Wrath does a good job of painting a picture of scientific advancement getting out of hand.” —GeekDad
"The first book to really take up Michael Crichton's mantle. . . .
Ratatouill meets
World War Z in a Big Blockbuster Book that reads like Crichton, only with more eyeball-eating."—
Grady Hendrix,
New York Times-bestselling author of
The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires "Moalem and Kraus have put the science back in science fiction.
Wrath is grounded in very real technologies, making this grisly thriller about genetic engineering gone wrong all the more terrifying."—
Bill Sullivan, PhD, Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Indiana University School of Medicine, and author of
Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs, and the Curious Forces that Make Us Who We Are "
Wrath manages to meld a story with elements of horror, philosophy, human psychology, and the realities of animal use in scientific research. Besides being a gripping story,
Wrath is a thought-provoking read for anyone who has wondered how to feel about genetic engineering, artificial intelligence and how humans use animals."—
