Great story, unique idea, flawless execution!

The Moving Type is a truly unique book that is one story with one-hundred writers' contributions to it and edited by one person to craft it into shape. The story is about a global virus similar to covid called Budlyt-19 and the global pandemic it causes. The book is fast-paced and full of action with elements of suspense too. We see huge pharmaceutical companies battle each other for the antidote to this virus and see the main character Nadia become entangled in the corruption of LifaLabs pharmaceutical after receiving a cryptic message anonymously. She then becomes a real-life test subject for the antidote solution to the virus and is injected with a purple dose of the live virus. We see people turn on each other, stakes made high and corruption abound in this fast-paced dystopian post-apocalyptic thriller where no one can be trusted. I flew through this book and found it very well edited considering it has such a high amount of contributions to the story.
