Resumen del Editor

Lucas Davenport and his daughter, Letty, team up to track down a dangerous scientist whose latest project could endanger the entire world, in this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

Gaia is dying.

That, at least, is what Dr. Lionel Scott believes. A renowned expert in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has witnessed the devastating impact of illness and turmoil at critical scale. Society as it exists is untenable, and the direct link to Earth’s death spiral; population levels are out of control and people have allowed disarray and disorder to run rampant. While most are concerned about deadly disease, Scott knows that it is truly humanity itself that will destroy Gaia. It’s only by removing the threat that the planet can continue to prosper, and luckily, Scott is just the right man for the job…

When Scott then disappears without a trace, Letty Davenport is tasked with tracking down any and all leads. Scott’s connections to sensitive research into virus and pathogen spread has multiple national and international organizations on high alert, and his shockingly high clearance levels at various institutions, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, make him the last person they’d like to go missing. As the web around Scott becomes more tangled, Letty calls in her father, Lucas, help her lead a group of specialists to find Scott as soon as possible. But as Letty and Lucas begin to uncover startling and disturbing connections between Scott and Gaia conspiracists, their worst fears are confirmed, and it quickly becomes a race to find him before the virus he created becomes the perfect weapon.

Toxic Prey

The narrator. I enjoy Richard Ferone much more.
Robert Petco’s was not enjoyable everything else was excellent.

Letty and Lucas on the case!

The Prey stories are always good entertainment. I love Lucas, and though I can take Letty if I suspend my rational brain (let's face it--do you know any 25 year old any near as calm, cold, together, etc., and with such a job?) I enjoyed the story and the characters. It's a good reminder/warning of what could happen.
***slight spoiler: for such a genius, the location did seem like a poor choice. And as things progressed, I would have gone to a WalMart or fast food restaurant immediately with my vials, rather than wait. And if you know that the situation is "hot" in New Mexico--why not drive out of state? But, thank goodness for the world, even genius mad scientists make mistakes and the Davenports are very lucky.

Another Lucas Davenport Classic

I may be biased as this is my favorite series but I was not disappointed with this book. Just as every other book in the series, this keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is definitely worth the credit.

Always love John Sandford, but…

…he never called Weather?? Insane. The narrator is primarily for Lettie, I guess. In my head Lucas is voiced by Richard Ferrone & nobody else comes close.
The story seemed more than possible & pretty intense. Too close to COVID leaking from a lab & changing the whole world!

Such a real possibility of a plot!

I love the Letty character and really enjoy the stories featuring her.Give me more of her!

Timely

After the world experienced Covid, you could feel the anxiety coming through the story. Then you ask yourself, could something like this happen?

Excellente!

Fast paced, classic story of good versus evil. Lots of twists and turns make for an enjoyable and engaging story. Having read all the “Toxic” series, I rate this as the best. WELL DONE!

The catastrophic event

The heroics of all characters is excellent
And the resourceful solutions believable
Hopefully America has these types in our services

Fabulous

It is an incredible story well developed with the expected and much appreciated John Sanford “Davenport” idioms (?)… thx for another great story.

Fast moving action!

Narration was excellent and made it easy to keep up with a large cast of characters. I planned to listen sparingly to save the read for travel, but it was too good! I highly recommend this book!
