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. And that’s both a good and a bad thing.

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.

From the masters of storytelling-meets-science, Patient Zero tells the long and fascinating history of disease outbreaks—how they start, how they spread, the science that lets us understand them, and how we race to destroy them before they destroy us. Written in the authors’ lively style, chapters include gripping medical stories about a particular disease or virus—smallpox, Bubonic plague, polio, HIV—that combine “Patient Zero” narratives, or the human stories behind outbreaks, with historical examinations of missteps, milestones, scientific theories, and more.

More people have died in disease epidemics than in wars or other disasters, but the process of identifying these diseases and determining how they spread is often a terrifying gamble. 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.

Meanwhile, Bodhi finds himself with a newly reshuffled team still smarting from the changes, including his ex.
