A near-future thriller about genetically engineered tapeworms gaining autonomy.
Grant examines the fallout of a world cured of disease by implanted parasites. The SymboGen Corporation created these worms to protect hosts and provide medication. Success led to universal adoption across the population. Now the biological control mechanism is failing as the worms demand independence. The narrative tracks this shift from beneficial symbiosis to hostile takeover.
This work sits in the near-future science fiction tradition, published in 2013 by Hachette Book Group. It engages with contemporary anxieties about biotechnology and corporate power over human biology.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Grant delivers a tense examination of biological dependency in a world cured of disease by implanted parasites. The narrative effectively tracks the shift from beneficial symbiosis to hostile takeover, grounding speculative ideas in realistic corporate-controlled biology. While it suits readers interested in high-concept science fiction and body horror, those seeking traditional fantasy or historical romance may find the premise less engaging. The text remains focused on the immediate threat posed by the symbiotic relationship gone wrong, offering a chilling look at emerging parasitic agency. It is a strong choice for fans of ethical dilemmas in genetic modification.
