Dr. James Kegan, a world-renowned scientist specializing in germ warfare, has vanished from his upstate New York home. But this is no ordinary missing-persons case. Kegan has left behind an unidentified dead man with a .22 caliber hole in his skull—and a contact trail that leads to an alleged terrorist cell. Unraveling the mystery is a job for Kegan’s best friend, NSA operative Charlie Dean. His mission is to infiltrate the scientist’s circle of associates and decipher Kegan’s confidential research. Dispatched to cover Charlie is Delta Force trooper Lia Francesca. The trail leads them to the core of a widespread killer fever that’s been dormant for centuries—and its link to a virus that’s quickly spreading victim by victim. With time running out Charlie and Lia must find Kegan, uncover his secrets, cut a terrorist threat to the quick, and stop the unimaginable outbreak of a new biological nightmare.

— Eli (5 out of 5 stars)
" A fairly enjoyable story. The reader did alright. His female and male characters sounded a lot alike however. "
— Scott, 9/9/2013" I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series. It skips around a lot and so sometimes I'm a bit confused about what's going on. It might be better in printed form (I listened to the audiobook version). "
— Bonnie, 7/17/2013" i picked this book because it looks cool, but when i read it i hated it. but as i read on, i started to get it and i like it more and more as i read on. it reminded me of resident evil where there are zombies walking around and people are trying to survive. it was kind of like that for this book.
