Summary

Can a failed scientist save a city? Can he even save himself?

Fired from his dream job and exiled among the misfits and mutants of the Undercity, Tak has gone from wunderkind to washed-out failure in record time. His last hope of reclaiming his life in the shining city above is to somehow prove his wild theories correct. 

In order to continue his research, Tak accepts a job at a shady underground laboratory, where he struggles to reconcile what he believes to be right with the things he must do to survive. But when a strange plague rips through the people of the Undercity, Tak’s knowledge becomes their only hope of survival. In his race to find a cure, Tak uncovers things about his former life he never knew. Secrets the shining city will work to conceal by any means necessary.

With his life on the line, Tak must choose between reclaiming his old life of privilege and saving the Undercity people who need him.

Because he can’t have it both ways. And time is running out.

fun read

I would never normally buy a book narrated by the author. bad experiences... a writer isn't necessarily a good narrator. I'm not sure why this one appealed to me but I'm glad it did. the MC was incredibly annoying for most of the book but the story was great as was the world building. I heartily recommend.
