«Mutación» is the medical horror and science fiction novel by Robin Cook, published by Plaza y Janés in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Doctor Victor Frank, a gynaecologist and biomolecular engineer, wishes to have a child with his wife, who suffers from infertility. To achieve this, he uses his own sperm and one of her eggs, and also genetically manipulates the embryo with the intention of creating a gifted being. The creature, Victor Junior, soon demonstrates an extraordinary intellect, but the initial joy turns into paralysing horror because of the terrible events he causes.
The work recreates the myth of Frankenstein in the contemporary era and offers a warning about the misuse of genetic engineering. It belongs to the Éxitos collection from Plaza y Janés, with a translation by Daniel Zadunaisky.
Recommended for readers of medical thrillers and followers of Robin Cook, who in this novel take suspense into the realm of genetics.
