Geninna Ariton a dat nota:
I'm a science nerd through and through and I guess that's why this book got me hooked right from the beginning!!! I have never liked sci-fi because it tends to be closer to fantasy but the science in this book is so grounded that you cannot deny the possibility of this happening. The world building is done magnificently, the characters are also on point. And the neverending twists! They just keep on coming.
Notă biografică
Emily Suvada was born in Australia, where she went on to study mathematics and astrophysics. Her interest in science and tech never waned, particularly in genetic engineering and the question of what it means to be human. Emily's deepest passion has always been books, and though she always loved to write, she didn't truly find her voice until she combined this passion with her love of science. This Mortal Coil is Emily's first novel, and was crafted as the kind of book she loves most - fast-paced action with a healthy dose of futuristic technology and a horrifying virus. She now lives in the USA, in Portland, Oregon, with her husband. When not writing, she can be found hiking, cycling, and conducting chemistry experiments in her kitchen.
