Skrupellose Terroristen, ein tödliches Virus und ein verzweifelter Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Russische Terroristen haben eine verheerende Biowaffe an sich gebracht: eine Seuche, die Menschen zu rasenden Bestien macht, bevor sie die Wirte auf grausame Weise tötet. Der Sicherheitsspezialist Cameron Becker und die WHO-Seuchenexpertin Lori Dalton versuchen, die Verbreitung des Virus zu verhindern. Doch sie kommen zu spät. Infizierte Träger befinden sich bereits in Flugzeugen mit Zielen auf jedem Kontinent – die Seuche ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten.

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills... and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills.

Epidemiologists have been ignored, mocked, or silenced all while trying to protect the population and identify “patient zero”—the first person to have contracted the disease, and a key piece in solving the epidemic puzzle. Patient Zero tracks the gripping tales of eight epidemics and pandemics—how they started, how they spread, and the fight to stop them.

From a single exposed lab technician a mysterious virus begins to spread through the population, mutating those that are infected with it and altering them with new and powerful instincts to go with the bodies that they gained. A city soon finds themselves in the grips of a bizarre infection that turns its citizens into lustful anthro men, though as things spiral out of control it begins to mutate itself as much as the hosts that incubate it. Those tasked with trying to stop the spread of these creatures find themselves in the dark as they seem to have no idea where it came from or what it ...

In Patient Zero, Richard A. McKay presents a carefully documented and sensitively written account of the life of Gaetan Dugas, a gay man whose skin cancer diagnosis in 1980 took on very different meanings as the HIV/AIDS epidemic developed - and who received widespread posthumous infamy when he was incorrectly identified as patient zero of the North American outbreak.
