About this listen

What would you sacrifice to bring to light the greatest discovery in human history?

Quentin Darnell was only a boy when his anthropologist parents were overcome by a professional failure so crushing it led to his father's suicide. Now a schoolteacher, Quentin is looking for answers that can only be found in the wild terrains of Indonesian Papua, where years ago his parents studied an isolated aboriginal tribe.

Quentin leads his wife, son, and six students on a field trip to experience Papua’s pristine tropical forests. When their plane tragically crashes in the wilderness, Quentin becomes trapped in a vicious fight to protect the ones he loves.

Just as resources and hope run out, several mysterious tribesmen appear, bearing a substance with extraordinary healing properties. The material promises to benefit all of humanity. But it’s much more than medicine. It creates creatures unknown to science. And it brings to life what should remain dead—including Quentin’s own son, Addison.

Logic and sanity begin to unravel. Addison speaks a new language. He knows things he shouldn’t. And he’s a killer.

For the others to escape, Quentin must face a decision no parent should have to make.

I've enjoyed so many of Stan C Smith's books and each one grips me with its originality but Diffusion tops them all. We have some interesting characters in the form of a teacher and his family that take some students on a trip into the unknown. What they find after their plane crashes it a real trip into the unknown. You're never really sure who will be called upon to save the day and equally the tension his high throughout as you're never completely confident about who may perish. The story is fantastical is the best possible way but never strays from the authors rules. This has a classic Sci-Fi feel whilst being new and original, a difficult mix to achieve. I'd hate to ruin such a wonderful story for future readers with a recounting of plot points so I'll just say it had me totally hooked all the way.
The narration is a perfect fit for the story too. Each character is brought to life, even those that don't speak English, with skill and confidence elevating an already excellent story yet further.

Wow! just brilliant!
