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.

Chimera is book 3 in the Parasitology series. It follows Symbiont. See the full Parasitology reading order.
