This book reveals much that scientists and cultural historians have learned about the pervasive interconnections between infectious microbes and humans.

Something is happening at a remote outpost in the New Mexico desert… A group of scientists at the Tanner Biological Research Station has discovered an anomaly. Part of some creature that should not be there. Bringing in a pair of experts from the upper echelons of academia to assist in identifying the potential new species, more questions than answers are generated among the unnerved staff at the isolated station. Soon, though, the outpost is not simply isolated—it is cut off, communications with the outside world severed by some inexplicable predatory force, leaving the scientists ...
