Blood Shot Mutation

The Helios Facility was supposed to be the end of the nightmare.
Instead, it was only the beginning.

After the catastrophic explosion meant to erase Project Bloodline from existence, something survives-something unseen, airborne, and evolving. As the world scrambles for answers, the infection mutates into a terrifying new form, spreading in silence across deserts, cities, research outposts, and entire continents.

Sergeant Marcus Reid and Dr. Lynn Harrow become unwilling witnesses to a truth darker than the virus itself: multiple secret facilities were running parallel experiments, each specializing in a different branch of human manipulation-adaptation, aggression, replication, and more. And now those long-buried projects are waking up.

When a containment breach unleashes a sentient crimson mist, when survivors become test subjects, and when the infection begins communicating through signals, electricity, and even human voices, survival becomes something far more complicated than staying alive.

Haunted by trauma, hunted by mutated horrors, and tracked by a rising intelligence that seems to know their every move, Marcus and his brother James battle not just an outbreak-but an enemy capable of thinking ahead.

The world isn't dying.
It's changing.
And the truth behind that evolution is more dangerous than the virus ever was.

Blood Shot Mutation is the explosive second chapter in Steven M. McDonald's apocalyptic thriller trilogy-darker, bigger, and more relentless than Book One.
It spreads in silence.
