A fast-paced apocalyptic novel with a flair of Michael Crichton.

Terrance Mathison, a veteran turned bioengineer, returns from a camping trip to find that a widespread pathogen is quickly rusting important metals once they’re touched. Amid the crumbling downfall of our technological society, he assembles a team of super-nerds and elite soldiers to find and secure a lab in hopes of developing a cure. As cities collapse and food supplies dwindle, Mathison and his team navigate an increasingly savage world. He has to decide what lengths he will go to for a cure.

Lawrence’s novel asks the question, “How do we survive without metals?”

METAL may appeal to those who enjoyed the series Arisen and Jurassic Park. Scientific Grounding: For this project, the author learned from experts in the rapidly growing fields of microbially induced corrosion, biohacking, bioengineering, and infectious diseases. While METAL was vetted by spec-ops veterans, some liberties were taken because of the backdrop of rusting.

This is the story of a thrown together special forces unit trying to prevent metal from rusting away. I really enjoyed it.

Very interesting storyline

The author captured me from the get go. Picture a novel, the brain child of Tom Clancy and Tess Gerritsin, and you’ll grasp something of what moved me. The protagonist is a microbiologist with a background in the Army. He’s chosen to devote the remainder of his life to medical research and has been nestled beneath the wing of a minor god in the field. This demigod just happens to be a radical environmentalist—and a sociopath.

I won’t ruin the story, but it’s worth your time. I promise.

Great action thriller

I was a little turned off by the main character making such references like “tubby” hikers. I know he was some sort of smart military guy. I read quite a lot in the apocalypse genre, and am pretty used to the strong military guy saves the world. But, this was a bit much. It was distracting from the story. The rest of the story and science was fairly interesting. The narrator did an excellent job.

Ok sci-fi apocalypse

The story felt like it could really happen- which I love. The end was unfulfilling for me. It just didn’t match the situation.

Very cool premise
