A Biological Sci-Fi Epidemic Thriller of Alien Pathogens, JFK Airport Crashes, and Global Pandemics

When an uncrewed deep-space research probe returns to Earth from Jupiter, a guidance malfunction causes it to crash at JFK International Airport in New York City. Recovery crews unknowingly breach the containment vessel, releasing a microscopic alien pathogen into the atmosphere that infects humans on contact.

As the lethal alien virus spreads rapidly across global transportation networks, government authorities impose nationwide quarantines. Epidemiologist Dr. Sam Olson races against time in a bio-containment laboratory to decode the alien virus's cellular structure and synthesize a vaccine before society collapses.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Grand Master Harry Harrison delivers a tense, fast-paced apocalyptic outbreak thriller combining realistic medical research with extraterrestrial terror. Essential reading for fans of Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain, Robin Cook, and Richard Preston.
