A month after touching Earth's atmosphere, the virus has wiped out most of the population. Desperate to stay alive, Leon and Grace are reluctantly taken in by a tight-knit group of survivors. But as they struggle to win their trust, the siblings realize that the virus isn't their only enemy, and survival is just the first step...
Editorial Reviews
Review
"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
"A high-impact horrific thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seat and begging for the next installment." - School Library Journal
"Terror, anxiety, and anticipation will flow rapidly through the veins of readers as they piece together clues...in this fast-paced horror." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The author does a nice job of providing readers with a vivid picture of how the people are affected by the virus, as well as suggestions on where it may have originated... fans of the sci-fi genre will enjoy this book." - School Library Connection
"Post-apocalyptic horror meets science lesson in this adrenaline-packed rocket ride of a novel...compelling and legitimately scary with an ending that teases the sequel perfectly. " - IndiePicks Magazine
