Kinsey is leader of a desert research team that discovers a strange specimen. The team brings it back to base only to discover something in search of a new host.
Only reason I read it in 2 sittings is I had stuff to do. A little bit The Thing, which I enjoyed.

A good biography of Dr. Thomas Mutter, considering he didn't leave a diary or much correspondence. It doesn't cover the acquisition of his collection, only that he collected. And the creation of the Mutter Museum is covered briefly.
Enjoyed.
