This science-based thriller from Wil Mara will chill you to your core Bob Easton thinks he has a cold. Before he dies in agony, four days later, he infects dozens of people. Local health agencies become quickly overwhelmed by the sick and dying and beg the CDC for help. Dr. Michael Beck and Cara Porter, a member of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, race to identify the deadly bug. They can't cure it until they know what it is. Dennis and Andi Jensen and their children are terrified. Schools and offices close. Fresh food disappears from store shelves. Three of their children's friends die. Their neighbors are dying or running away, fleeing the unstoppable infection. Desperate, the Jensens join the exodus, making a nightmarish journey to their isolated mountain cabin along empty roads, through abandoned towns, past looted shopping malls. The superbug—and the panic—quickly spreads beyond America's borders. On a packed plane, someone coughs—and at their destination, the pilots are told, "you can't land here." US military bases are quarantined. Yet the virus continues to spread. Some believe the plague is man-made. Others see it as a sign of the end times. In the lab, Cara Porter makes a potentially fatal mistake. In the mountains, Andi Jensen tells her husband that she doesn't feel well. The world is running out of time.

"If you like medical/epidemiological books (which I do) then you will love this! I could not put it down it is a page turner and a scenario which can really occur as well. (That was a chilling thought the whole time.)" — Amy (5 out of 5 stars)

“The Gemini Virus is a terrifying tale of a mysterious lethal outbreak that starts in a small-town community and quickly goes global. It pits the nightmare virus against a talented team from the CDC as well as an assemblage of less-visible scientists and health care professionals. Thank your lucky stars the scenario is fictional!
Wil Mara has created a credible and chilling scenario and placed it in a fast-paced and immensely entertaining story. Thrilling and eerie. Once you open the front cover, you will not be able to put it down.
The Gemini Virus rocks its genre, setting a new standard for public fear. Wil took a familiar theme--a deadly pandemic--and crafted it into a tense and very exciting story. I've been a sci fi fan all my life, and this is, by far, one of the best doomsday books I've ever read. A taut thriller that grabbed me from page one.
This is a fast-paced, nail-biting treat for the reader... An exciting but frightening glimpse of an all-too-plausible scenario. Read it at your own risk.
" Gory and awesome. Loved it. "
" It passed the time. "
" What a phenomenal book. "
" A very interesting book, I could hardly put the book down. "
" Robin Cook has nothing to worry about. I gave up before I was halfway through. "
" Germs, No cure, Death...oh my. Love the books that don't let everyone live happily ever after. Who will live, who will die? You'll have to read it to find out. Nobody is exempt with this virus. "
" Creatively written. The mystery. The horror. The clinging of normalcy was wonderfully done. I hope this book becomes a motion picture that is as good as this book. "
Wil Mara is the award-winning author of the disaster thriller Wave, as well as many other books.
