*"You are the next step in human evolution."

At first, Logan Ramsay isn't sure if anything's different. He just feels
a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at
multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less
sleep.
But before long, he can't deny it: Something's happening to his brain.
To his body. He's starting to see the world, and those around him--even
those he loves most--in whole new ways.
The truth is, Logan's genome has been hacked. And there's a reason he's
been targeted for this upgrade. A reason that goes back decades to the
darkest part of his past, and a horrific family legacy.
Worse still, what's happening to him is just the first step in a much
larger plan, one that will inflict the same changes on humanity at
large--at a terrifying cost.
Because of his new abilities, Logan's the one person in the world
capable of stopping what's been set in motion. But to have a chance at
winning this war, he'll have to become something other than himself.
Maybe even something other than human.
And even as he's fighting, he can't help wondering: what if humanity's
only hope for a future really does lie in engineering our own evolution?
Intimate in scale yet epic in scope, Upgrade is an intricately
plotted, lightning-fast tale that charts one man's thrilling
transformation, even as it asks us to ponder the limits of our
humanity--and our boundless potential.
