The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta tries to locate and quarantine the flight’s passengers and crew, but whatever killed that man is spreading. At the same time, astronomers find a metal sphere that fell near Johannesburg, the inside covered with alien writing. As the alien virus spreads across the world, it does not kill indiscriminately, but making a vaccine is a problem as the virus constantly mutates. Not surprisingly, the major powers are looking to create a biological weapon from the virus. Decoding the alien writing, the virus was sent into space as a gift to all from a dying species. A colony ship is sent to Mars in case the aliens came and took over Earth...

With More than Human: The Mensa Contagion, Steven M. Moore has managed to pack a surprisingly good and well written story into a short book. He handles the aftermath of a global pandemic, the breakdown of social structures, and the emergence of altered humans with deft skill. Although the book’s sweeping scope would have been better explored in a longer work, what Mr. Moore has offered is nonetheless a very entertaining read.
