Mutant (Dr Richard Steele Book 1)

I love to be thrilled and chilled by the possible. I certainly wasn't disappointed by this medical thriller offered by Peter Clement. The intricacies of the plots and methods to overcome man's foibles and nature's opportunistic tendencies were magnificant. Met my every expectation and then some.

I'm a huge Tess Gerritsen fan and have read all her books. I did a search to find authors like her. Richard Steel came up. This was the first of his books I've read and it didn't disappoint! You'll think twice about what you put in your mouth after reading this book! I highly recommend it. I'm going to check out some of his other books soon.

I love this author. I can hardly put down this one. It makes the characters believable.

I will buy more of Peter Clements books he is great!!! I have purchsed more in Paper back an will get more for my kindle as they become available!!

I found this book to be a little to detailed at first.the romance was a bit to flat . Over all a good read!

I like medical stories and Peter is a great writer. The stories always more along fast. I think I have read all his book on Kindle.

The title was too general. Unless one is into intelligent design, everyone on the planet is a Darwinian mutant. Who was this author trying to reach? Perhaps his old medical colleagues. At times it sounded like a textbook on genetics. But Peter should be given three stars for attempting to warn the world about tinkering with and modifying plant genes they don't really understand. However most readers can't digest the periodic table of elements to say nothing of the complexity of naked DNA vaccines, nucleotide sequences, genetic vectors, specie barriers, viruses, host cells and trans-gene expression.The book read more like a draft than a completed work. I'm sure a good screenwriter could present this book as a good flick on the big screen. The semi-happy ending, where only 400 died instead of 40,000, was definitely Hollywood.

While I know little about the biology-side of existance, I felt that the Clement did an excellent job creating an air of realism and gave life to the possibilities he presented. All science fiction is about possibilities based on current science and technology.I could not put this book down and read the last 200 pages in one weekend. As a person concerned with my health and what I eat, this book made me wonder just what I'm buying in the grocery store.On top of that, Clement kept me guessing and changing my mind as to who the real mastermind behind the great conspiracy was. It was definitely worth my time and money.

I always look forward to a medical fiction book. Mutant was a very well written book, kept me wanting to read it. Just 2 criticisms. Firstly the editing needed a bit of attention when the story line jumped from one venue to another without space breaks between lines. the endings always with these books are predictable, but there was a slight twist in the end chapter. Yes on the whole I would recommend this book.

put this down at least 3 times thinking it was too slow,read a bit like a clinical paper-glad I did though.exciting stuff
