This was like...Dan Brown meets Greg Bear. Which is really insulting to Greg Bear.

It was also a total confused mess. There's the genius scientist who makes a lizard boy hybrid and she's got all kinds of daddy issues. Then you have the nebbish mountaineer who's coerced into being a New Testament era bodysnatcher. Oh but there's also a billionaire business tycoon who buys, catalogs, and sometimes eats black market religious relics and unwittingly unleashes a plague that turns people transparent and has a 100% mortality rate.

I don't even know. I finished it, I'm not sure why. Parts of it were cool.
