As more and more people throughout the British Isles succumb to the virus, politicians equivocate and scientists attempt to find a seemingly impossible answer. Beginning to question his own belief in medicine, and in his role as a doctor, Steven comes closer to the terrifying, unbelievable and shocking truth.
From "Scotland's own Michael Crichton" comes another shocking thriller of medicine, science and corruption.
