Why read it?
1 author picked The Apocalypse Gene as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ll be honest with you, this one is a brain-bender, and I love that about it. I may not have been able to wrap my brain around all of the unique twists and turns in this story, but the characters are so well-developed, the description is so vivid, and the action scenes are so well-crafted, it really didn’t matter. Set in the middle of a dystopian cancer plague, the eerie biblical and sci-fi elements make this one a real page-turner.
From Audra's list on weird and wonderful, indie, sci-fi and fantasy.
