A new stand-alone novel from the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not A Serial Killer, soon to be a feature film.
The satirical new suspense about a health and beauty company that accidentally develops a hand lotion that can overwrite your DNA.
Lyle Fontanelle is the chief scientist for NewYew, a health and beauty company experimenting with a new, anti-aging hand lotion. As more and more anomalies crop up in testing, Lyle realizes that the lotion's formula has somehow gone horribly wrong. It is actively overwriting the DNA of anyone who uses it, turning them into physical clones of someone else. Lyle wants to destroy the formula, but NewYew thinks it might be the greatest beauty product ever designed--and the world's governments think it's the greatest weapon.
New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells brings us a gripping corporate satire about a health and beauty company that could destroy the world.
About Dan Wells
I’ve not yet read anything by this author but this one sounds like an awesomely trippy sci-fi tale. And possibly a touch dystopian? Almost gives me Oryx and Crake feels.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Wow, this sounds like such an interesting read. I read Partials by Wells a long time ago and enjoyed his writing even though I didn’t really like the series. I’ll have to put this one on the wishlist.
