When all paths are blocked... Desperation steps in and changes the fate of a woman the Apara once passed by. The rogue Apara’s resources are nearly gone—and desperation drives him to a reckless new plan. After one final failure, he knows he must shift tactics to something the Apara would never expect. But to pull it off, he’ll need help from someone far outside their world. Dr. Thaddea Price, a 48-year-old cancer researcher and genetic engineer, becomes an unwilling pawn in his scheme. Forcibly dragged into the realm of the Apara, she’s confronted with the impossible—and the terrifying. His goal? To make anyone Apara, not just those genetically compatible. And he’ll stop at nothing to make it happen. As the stakes escalate, Thaddea must navigate a nightmare that defies science, logic, and everything she’s built her life around. But for the sake of her daughters, she can’t afford to break. Going Viral continues the intense saga of The Apara Chronicles, where science and psychic evolution collide—and one woman’s unwilling transformation may change everything.
