The good news: the bugs are all dead. The bad news: we’re next.
The change begins silently, imperceptibly, inexorably. One natural
effect topples into the next, like an array of dominoes that stretches to every
corner of the globe. Before anyone realizes it, the earth’s ecology has utterly
transformed itself, and the days of the old world are finished.
In an idyllic Long Island community, paleobiologist Richard Sinclair is
one of the first to suspect that the environment has begun to wage bloody,
terrifying war on humanity. What initially appear to be random, unrelated
events are, in actuality, violent eruptions in a worldwide biological chain
reaction. Along with a brave group of survivors, Sinclair must learn to
understand the catastrophe while it roils around them, slowly crumbling a
panicked world and energizing a reactionary fringe that welcomes the
apocalypse. The survival of humankind depends on finding an answer immediately—or
all else is dust.
Charles Pellegrino,
whose dinosaur cloning theory informed Michael Crichton’s mega-bestseller Jurassic
Park, has fashioned a heart-stopping thriller that uses scientific
speculation as the basis for a masterful exercise in edge-of-the-seat suspense.
Brilliantly inventive, frighteningly authentic, Dust is a
literary ride that will leave listeners gasping for breath as its heroes
confront the final destiny of their species.
