The loss of the protomolecule as a tangible biological horror is one of the things I regret most about the later books. I think they consciously chose to ditch that aspect because no one liked 'vomit zombies', but rooting the protomolecule in the intrinsically horrific repurposing of human biology is an effective way to characterize its danger.

Nothing quite dates the first novel to a particular date in nerd consciousness quite like the vomit zombies.
