“Upgrade” by Blake Crouch

As an agent at the Gene Protection Agency, Logan Ramsey is tasked with finding those that wish to illegally alter human DNA and take them into custody. During a raid Logan is trapped in an explosion and in the aftermath it’s discovered that he has been altered, he’s changing. Things seem sharper, memories easier to access, muscles stronger, Logan knows he’s been infected with something. It becomes obvious to him that GPA has no intention of letting him go, so when someone breaks in to rescue him from where he’s being held, Logan willingly goes along. Now things have been set in motion that could infect the world’s population with this “upgrade” leaving Logan the only person capable to right this wrong set in motion so long ago. It’s hard to review “Upgrade” without giving too much away but I can say that Blake Crouch has another hit on his hands. I loved Crouch’s two most recent books and “Upgrade” ranks up there with both of them. I’m not usually a fan of this genre but Blake Crouch has won me over. If Sci-fi isn’t usually your thing I suggest picking up one of Crouch’s books and dive into the wild world he creates. A big thank you to NetGalley & Penguin Random House for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
