À propos de cet audio

Kwan Wilson was a high school basketball star living in San Diego when a tragic accident changed his life in ways no one could predict. He only looked at his phone for a few seconds, but that was all the time it took to crash his car into a telephone pole, killing his mother and paralyzing him from the waist down.

After the accident, his father, Admiral Douglas Wilson, sent him off to live with his maternal grandmother in South Florida. Kwan's new principal, anticipating his depression and isolation, tells him about an internship at a genetics lab in Miami that is testing shark stem cells on rats in an effort to cure cancer and repair spinal injuries. Kwan declines, until he learns the beautiful Anya Patel is an intern at the lab. When Kwan takes the internship, he learns that the good news is that the stem cells are curing their rat subjects; the bad news is it alters their DNA so much, it kills them. But after a promising breakthrough is made, Kwan risks his life and injects himself with the experimental stem cells, forever altering his destiny and the lives of millions in the process.

The man who wrote The Meg brings you this slightly ridiculous but thoroughly enjoyable bit of nonsense.

The concept is silly - our protagonist is a paralyzed teen with a soppy backstory who injects himself with shark stem cells. He then becomes an aquatic hero, repeatedly saving the day in melodramatic but completely satisfying ways. It's meant to be an adult novel but reads like a YA body horror thriller, but in the best possible way.

Serious reading it is not, but it's entertaining and I liked it enough to purchase it after listening to it free. Go into it understanding its silliness and you won't be disappointed.

Fun (sometimes gruesome) fluff
