Description
When a mysterious and highly contagious virus emerges, Henry Parsons, a senior CDC official, races across a destabilizing world to understand the disease and contain its spread. As the outbreak overwhelms governments, communities, and international systems, the crisis exposes the fragile connections between public health, politics, technology, and global security. Combining meticulous research with the momentum of a medical thriller, the novel explores leadership under pressure, scientific uncertainty, social breakdown, and the moral cost of survival. It is a chilling, vividly imagined warning about how quickly an interconnected world can be transformed by forces no one fully understands.
