An eerily prescient novel about a devastating virus that begins in
Asia before going global . . . A page-turner that has the earmarks

*New York Post*
Eerily prescient. Too bad our leaders lack his foresight.
*The New York Times*
Featuring accounts of past plagues and pandemics, descriptions of
pathogens and how they work, and dark notes about global warming,
the book produces deep shudders . . . A disturbing, eerily timed
novel.
*Kirkus Reviews*
A compelling read up to the last sentence. Wright has come up with
a story worthy of Michael Crichton. In an eerily calm,
matter-of-fact way, and backed by meticulous research, he imagines
what the world would actually be like in the grip of a devastating
new virus.
*Richard Preston, author of THE HOT ZONE*
This timely literary page-turner shows Wright is on a par with the
best writers in the genre.
