THE CARRIER By Holden Scott

In THE CARRIER by Holden Scott, Jack Collier dedicates his life to a radical cure of cancer to save his girlfriend–flesh-eating bacteria redesigned to eat tumors. But something goes wrong, turning him into a carrier of disease that consumes its victims in seconds. Great writing, Michael Crichton-quality blend of science and fiction, but a little too neat–e.g., the disease never becomes a plague–leaving me wanting.
