“I’ve seen the remains of what a beast leaves behind, but this was different. It’s one thing to look at the remains left by a beast who has no self-control, but it’s a whole other thing to look at the remains left by an even greater beast who does.”

After a year of unsuccessful attempts to cure, Gabi and Doc find themselves alone in their quest once again. With Phillip and Kiel gone, Gabi wrestles with the life she has chosen. A number of run-ins with the worst of mankind lead her to question who the real beasts are.

When tragedy strikes, Gabi is forced to either adapt her philosophy or give up the quest entirely. Her choice leads her down dark paths she never would have thought to be on, some of which take her back to a buried past she thought she had left behind.

Will Gabi retain her humanity in the face of events that made others abandon all hope in beating this illness? Will she resist the temptation to surrender to her fears, or will she become the very thing she hates?

Human Nature (2021) is the third installment in Robin Nemesszeghy’s Scientist & Girl Series trilogy; the girl and scientist struggle to keep their humanity as they continue on their quest, witnessing events that have led others to abandon all hope in winning the fight against this illness.
