Robin’s Review of The Synchrotron: The End of the World Has Never Been This Incompetent

The Last Ritual

✔️A deadly virus.
✔️A world overrun by monsters.
✔️ Six scientists on a dangerous mission to cure the world.
We are screwed…

They only wanted a Nobel Prize. Instead, they will have to save the world.
It was going to be the experiment of the year. Preparing to blast x-rays through a piece of palladium at the most dazzling European synchrotron, Anna and five of her fellow scientists expected a few hiccups.

Not a horde of hungry spleen-eating zombies.

The world has succumbed to the virus, leaving only scattered survivors.
When Anna and her friends realise that the infected can be cured back into humans, they pledge to find a cure no matter the cost. Equipped with a lab wrench and questionable lab ethics, Team ID26 are humanity’s last hope.

But what is the price of saving the world?

Running out of time, Anna and her friends will face the impossible choices between life and death, morality and cure. When the future of the world is at stake, what will they have to sacrifice?

Robin’s Review

Trigger Warnings: Gore, zombies (but science-y), pandemic panic, questionable lab ethics, dark humor

What Did I Just Walk Into?

This was supposed to be a Nobel-worthy science experiment. Instead, we get spleen-hungry zombies, an apocalyptic meltdown, and a group of scientists who are one lab mishap away from becoming their own case study. Anna and her squad of highly-educated chaos goblins were just vibing at a fancy synchrotron, minding their palladium, when BAM—science unleashes the apocalypse. As you do.

Here’s What Slapped:

🧪 Science meets satire with absolute precision. If Michael Crichton and Douglas Adams co-wrote a zombie thriller, this would be it.

🧠 Anna is your new favorite scientist-turned-reluctant-action-hero. Smart, sarcastic, and wildly underprepared for the undead.

🧟‍♂️ These aren’t your average zombies. There’s a cure. There’s moral conflict. There’s a wrench. And there are deeply unhinged “I can fix this” vibes from every character.

🌍 The book doesn’t just give us guts and gore—it gives us a brain. It’s about survival, sacrifice, and whether saving the world is worth it when you’re stuck with these coworkers.

What Could’ve Been Better (But Didn’t Ruin My Day):

Expect science jargon, moral crises, and absurdity. If you’re not into your horror served with a beaker full of sarcasm and human error, you might want to sit this one out. But if chaos-core nerd fiction is your thing? Strap in.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:

📖 Apocalyptic horror that’s self-aware

📖 Science gone horrifically wrong

📖 Team disaster dynamics

📖 Zombie stories with heart (and guts—literally)

📖 Scientists who should not be unsupervised
