In
this riveting medical thriller--from the Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling
author--Dr. Henry Parsons, an unlikely but appealing hero, races to find the
origins and cure of a mysterious new killer virus as it brings the world to its
knees.
At an internment camp in
Indonesia, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever.
When Henry Parsons--microbiologist, epidemiologist--travels there on behalf of
the World Health Organization to investigate, what he finds will soon have
staggering repercussions across the globe: an infected man is on his way to
join the millions of worshippers in the annual Hajj to Mecca. Now, Henry joins
forces with a Saudi prince and doctor in an attempt to quarantine the entire
host of pilgrims in the holy city... A Russian émigré, a woman who has risen to
deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security, scrambles to mount a response to
what may be an act of biowarfare... already-fraying global relations begin to
snap, one by one, in the face of a pandemic... Henry's wife Jill and their
children face diminishing odds of survival in Atlanta... and the disease
slashes across the United States, dismantling institutions--scientific,
religious, governmental--and decimating the population. As packed with suspense
as it is with the fascinating history of viral diseases, Lawrence Wright has
given us a full-tilt, electrifying, one-of-a-kind thriller.
