Description
In this thrilling young adult horror novel from the author of the TimeRiders series the only thing worse than a virus that can kill is a virus that can think.
The reports start slowly at first: an outbreak in Africa at the end of the evening news, as a headline at the bottom of a website. They’re easy to ignore, and most people do just that. Except for Leon. His mom shakes off the concerns , sure that they shouldn’t be worried about some illness on a distant continent. Until one week later, the virus hits England and chaos ensues, dotting the English countryside with the haunting remains of liquefied victims.
But what scares Leon the most is the way the virus moves- like it’s adapting. Like it has an agenda. If Leon’s going to fight back, he’ll need a plan. But first, he needs to stay alive.
Advance Praise
“In the vein of Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda
Strain (1969), Scarrow’s series starter centers on 16-year-old Leon, while
interspersed vignettes show how a disease originates and evolves in West Africa… a thrilling family survival
story, a clinical study of a fictional pathogen, body horror, and an
action-packed dystopian narrative.” -Booklist
