Dan Fletcher was never meant to exist. Now someone wants him dead.
Enhanced at birth without his knowledge, Dan is one of the MorphEns—a covert generation of genetically engineered humans, designed to be faster, stronger, and smarter than everyone else. He’s spent thirty years believing he’s normal. That illusion ends in a brutal ambush in the French Alps.
Hunted across Europe, Dan is forced on the run with his brother and sister as the Apfel—a ruthless organisation with unlimited reach—closes in. Assassins strike without warning. Safe houses burn. And the people chasing him know exactly what he is.
As MI6 fights to keep him alive, the CIA and FSB wage a silent war to seize control of the programme that created him. Trapped between rival agencies, betrayed at every turn, and pursued by enemies who never miss, Dan must rely on instinct, courage, and the few people he can still trust to survive.
No one can be trusted. Nowhere is safe.
And when evolution makes you a weapon, how do you outrun the people who built you?
What did I think?
Morph: Demise of Knacc is a cracking debut novel from Tim Ferguson. It took me a few chapters to get into it as the scene is set but once the danger levels ramp up I couldn't put it down.
I can't say too much about the story without spoiling it but the plot is so sharp, intelligent and gripping. It's like taking a combination of Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer and James Bond and making a family of super-humans. The best thing is that the Fletchers don't even know they are special until someone tries to kill them.
It's a very accomplished debut novel that is filled with action and danger. The pacing is blistering and I couldn't read fast enough to try to keep up. It's definitely a 'just one more chapter' kind of book!
Mixing espionage with genetic engineering, Tim Ferguson has found the formula to create a blistering modern-day espionage thriller. It's a fantastic start to a new series and I can't wait to read more.
I received a digital ARC from the author and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
