Sharon Moalem MD, PhD, is an award-winning scientist, physician, and New York Times bestselling author of The Better Half: On the Genetic Superiority of Women, Survival of the Sickest, How Sex Works, and Inheritance. Moalem has served as an associate editor for the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, cofounded three biotechnology companies, and his clinical genetics research has led to the discovery of two new rare genetic conditions. He has also been awarded more than 45 patents worldwide for his inventions in human health and biotechnology. Daniel Kraus is a New York Times-bestselling author. His recent collaboration with legendary filmmaker George A. Romero, The Living Dead, was acclaimed by the New York Times and Washington Post. With Guillermo del Toro, he co-authored Trollhunters (the basis for the Emmy-winning Netflix series) and The Shape of Water, based on the same idea Kraus and del Toro created for the Oscar-winning film. Kraus's The Death and Life of ZebulonFinch was named one of Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Books of the Year.
Moalem and Kraus highlight some clever scientific concepts as the narrative details the variety of health problems that plague the Sammy Rats--and the sometimes barbaric methods employed to solve these issues . . . . Sienna and Noah prove ambitious and dynamic as pressure to perform brings out the absolute worst in them. --Publishers Weekly Animals communicating or acting strangely is creepy; rats, in particular, give the book an extra level of sinister vibes. Add in that the rats can talk to humans, and you have an unsettling narrative that will leave you unable to look at rodents the same way again. --Booklist Reading like a cross between a blockbuster movie, a hard sci-fi thriller, and a rumination on the very ethics of animal experimentation. Wrath is a thrill ride from start to finish. It'll make you laugh, cry, and quiver in fear all in the same chapter. It's the kind of book that digs into your brain and stays with you long after you've read it. --Geek Vibes Nation Wrath does a good job of painting a picture of scientific advancement getting out of hand. --GeekDad The first book to really take up Michael Crichton's mantle. . . . Ratatouill meets World War Z in a Big Blockbuster Book that reads like Crichton, only with more eyeball-eating. --Grady Hendrix, New York Times-bestselling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires Moalem and Kraus have put the science back in science fiction. Wrath is grounded in very real technologies, making this grisly thriller about genetic engineering gone wrong all the more terrifying. --Bill Sullivan, PhD, Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Indiana University School of Medicine, and author of Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs, and the Curious Forces that Make Us Who We Are Wrath manages to meld a story with elements of horror, philosophy, human psychology, and the realities of animal use in scientific research. Besides being a gripping story, Wrath is a thought-provoking read for anyone who has wondered how to feel about genetic engineering, artificial intelligence and how humans use animals. --Lisa Moses, Faculty, Center for Bioethics, Harvard Medical School
