👶👶 The Gemini Effect, by Chuck Grossart

This novel could have been almost plausible (WWII genetic research gone awry, Soviet involvement to change it into a biowarfare agent, accidental release of said agent), but then it went completely beyond the realm of believability. What could’ve been a decent political thriller, turned into an implausible sci-fi fantasy novel. It went from somewhat believable, to moderately farfetched, to absolutely absurd.

It is a shame that such a great concept went so far south. The writing is solid, and the pace is decent too; it is certainly action-packed. However, this novel would likely do well as a sci-fi channel debut, right alongside “Dinoshark”.
