Killer T. Robert Muchamore. 2018.

Harry and Charlie are teenagers who meet at a time when gene-editing technology is starting to explode. Now, with a lab in the garage, anyone can beat cancer, enhance their brain to pass exams, or tweak a few genes for a year-round tan and perfect beach body.

But in the wrong hands Gene-editing is the most deadly weapon in history. Killer T is a synthetic virus with a ninety per cent mortality rate, and the terrorists who created it want a billion dollars before they’ll release an antidote……

Spanning ten years and asking profound and terrifying questions, Killer Tnis an unsentimental love story, a tale of human resilience and most of all a novel for our times.
