About this book
The shortest of the trilogy at 496 pages, Chimera (November 2015) closes out Mira Grant's complete Parasitology series a year after Symbiont, resolving the central mystery of what Sally Mitchell's SymboGen-engineered tapeworm implant has actually made her. It brings the trilogy's body-horror premise -- and the question of where engineered parasite ends and person begins -- to a definite conclusion.
