Synopsis

Aboard the Talbot Yacht, twenty party goers suddenly fall unconscious at the same time. Placed into quarantine, it is soon believed their incident was caused by a gas leak and they are released.

It is much more.

Epidemiologist Mark Reign knows it was more than a carbon monoxide incident, but he can't prove it. Other than his gut instinct he has nothing to prove it and releases the people from quarantine.

Mark soon finds out that the Talbot is not the only incident. Similar events over the course of a few days happen globally. Those rendered unconscious are now the first wave delivery system of something old and something believed to be long since buried for over a hundred years.

The spread is underway, sweeping across the globe pushing mankind to the brink of extinction and Mark, along with others in his field, are at a loss at how to stop it.

Goodreads review by Curt on March 26, 2023

Let's just ignore the poor editing for the time being shall we? This is another intriguing take on a pandemic that threatens to wipe out the world. Except that this time it's not a disease but a parasite breaking havoc on humanity. It doesn't take long for the action to begin as we follow several cha......more

The importance of spellcheck and a good editor The storyline is is so interesting but so poorly executed. First of all, the number of spelling errors and wrong words and sometimes grammatical oddities is incomprehensible. I know your have other wonderful works so I have to assume that this is an earl......more

Goodreads review by Pam on February 19, 2023

This is another unique taken on a pandemic type of apocalypse. I found most of the characters appealing though in a couple of instances, they were just "red shirts" with a limited lifespan in the book-literally. This author excels at interesting and different stories, but sadly not at editing or err......more
