Calum finds himself caught in a war between science, politics and the power of wealth. Who's really in charge and what do they want? Can he use his knowledge to stay alive and save humanity when pitted against hungry mutants and power-hungry evil people intent on controlling the world at any cost?

Based on real science, A Quirk of Destiny imagines the future if we continue headlong on the current path of toxic food and environmental destruction, combined with political and corporate corruption.

If you like zombie apocalypse, global conspiracy and intelligently written fiction then you'll love Catherine Greenall's shocking book.
