In this way, we learn about the traumatic experiences that led her to become a medical guinea pig. As she ponders whether to venture into a disintegrating outside world or starve to death, Neffy relives her past through a sort of virtual reality memory gizmo a fellow volunteer has handily brought along with him. But while the trial is taking place, the virus gets out of control and she finds herself trapped in a clinic with an ill-assorted and untrustworthy group of fellow volunteers. The latest in what will probably be a long line of pandemic-inspired novels tells the story of Neffy, a young woman who has volunteered to test a vaccine for a virulent new virus. ![]()
