This is a really well written work of sci fi climate fiction featuring three main protagonists. Dr. Isabel Fallon is a doctor mining coral reefs in the South Pacific because she has learned that the coral can be used to create a cure for Milani Syndrome (something similar to Huntington’s that affects children—and is affecting her 5-year-old child.) Kyndra is a young girl in Austin, Texas who is one of the first children to fall ill from a strange new epidemic. As the disease spreads across the globe and only children fall ill, scientists and doctors are desperate to discover what is causing the illness. And finally Nadine is a CDC researcher who thinks she may have put the pieces together, and the answer is more shocking than anyone will be able to accept. I loved the writing in this book. It was well paced, there was a mix of science with the medical end of things being very well done and sci fi with children with new emerging psychic powers. I loved the heightened sense of urgency and panic, both from the doctors and parents treating the epidemic, and also I could, even as I watched Isabel doing the wrong thing, sympathize with her actions, because what mother wouldn’t do what she was doing. She says at one point, she had to make a choice between her son’s life or a fish, and of course she chose her son. I thought that was extremely well written. This was an excellent novel. I can’t wait to see what Drema Deoraich writes next! 5/5 stars. ( ) The novel is EXCELLENT. Not only is it a page-turner, it is also important. Deoraich has done what the titular “character” does: she makes us feel. And then she gives us hope. Of the 4 new novels I’ve read in the last 2 months, Entheophage is the one I keep wanting to give to people for Christmas. You want to read this novel. Don’t wait. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Dr. Isobel Fallon thinks she's found a treatment that will help her son and others suffering from Milani Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. What she doesn't realize is that harvesting the source of this treatment in the only accessible place on earth it grows, a coral reef in the Nlaan Islands, is going to have consequences far beyond the disruption of the fragile ecosystem on one small reef.CDC researcher Nadine Parker and her team are baffled. Lukas Behn's daughter Kyndra has contracted a a bizarre new virus that leaves her screaming in pain. But they can't identify any physical, biological source for that pain, not in Kyndra, nor in the dozens, then hundreds, and finally millions of children worldwide succumbing to the same virus. And no one seems to have made a connection between what's happening with the infected children and the events on a small coral reef in the South Pacific.Eventually, Nadine has to face the unlikely truth, and the enormous implications of it. The children aren't sick, they're changing. But will anyone else believe her? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
