About this listen
For 155 days, Will Foster has been locked in medical quarantine without his consent. The doctors claim he is infected with a deadly virus, but this is a lie. Encoded in his DNA is a mutation that provides immunity from disease for all who possess it, source code that Vyrogen Pharmaceuticals aims to commercialize as a multi-billion dollar gene therapy.
Against all odds, Foster escapes his laboratory prison and steals a virulent strain of bubonic plague as insurance. To help him unravel the mystery inside him, Foster contacts the only person he can trust - a former lover and microbiologist living Vienna - and the two become fugitives, hunted across the heart of Europe.
Under the guise of averting a plague pandemic, Vryogen hires an elite, underground Think Tank to track down Foster. But when the team sets a trap for Foster, they discover they're not the only ones in the hunt. In a race against two deadly assassins, can the brilliant minds of the Think Tank unravel the truth before time runs out for their quarry?
In a novel where conscience clashes with greed, loyalty with suspicion, and paranoia with reality, The Calypso Directive deftly explores the issues of genetic exploitation and piracy. Captivating, controversial, and courageous, Andrews debut is sure to thrill and leave you wondering what secrets are locked in your DNA.

Excruciatingly tedious and laborious.
Story was painfully slow made even more so by the narrators cadence. An interesting plot painfully dragged out like pulling teeth.

The Narrater Didn’t Work For Me
I think I would have enjoyed the book, but I really didn’t like the attitude and tone of the narrator. I quit ready after - few chapters - 3 I think - as I couldn’t take it anymore. May pick up the ebook.

Hard to keep track of characters
Very annoying with the repetitive discussions of characters talking to each other signing in and signing out. Had to turn it off, take a break and listen again later.

meh....
The story seems to have some merit, however the narrator makes it nearly unlistenable. Two of us listening, both came to the same conclusion at nearly the same time. This will be a book that does not get finished.
