"An action-packed, thought-provoking story of an all-too-possible dystopian future." - The Book Reviewers What would you do to protect those you love? Former defence analyst Zed Samuels must choose between family and duty to face his fears and gamble everything on one last throw of the dice. What began with the death of a government scientist before the Iraq War has snowballed towards totalitarianism and the rise of shadow governments. In hindsight, the warning signs were so obvious, yet no one appeared to notice the dark actors operating just out of sight. The consequences were all too terrible: a worldwide pandemic; nations overthrown; billions dead. "Contagion meets The Road", "Terrifyingly realistic", "A perfect blend of science fiction, history and social commentary." In the aftermath of a devastating flu pandemic, the search for a viable vaccine is just the first step towards genetic revolution. A terrifying future that will change everything. All that remains is a race against time to save those we care about. Zed must discover the truth before it’s too late, but who can he trust? Since their return to Hurst Castle from the island, Riley and the others face a new danger. As the Allies tighten their grip on a shrinking sphere of influence, a new power emerges that will tip the scales once more. Only the strong will survive.
