false 3605324 6 From the acclaimed author of <i>Infected</i> comes an epic and exhilarating story of humanity’s secret battle against a horrific enemy. <br><br>Across America, a mysterious pathogen transforms ordinary people into raging killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. The human race fights back, yet after every battle the disease responds, adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation: the epidemic is driven not by evolution but by some malevolent intelligence.<br><br>Standing against this unimaginable threat is a small group, assembled under the strictest secrecy. Their best weapon is hulking former football star Perry Dawsey, left psychologically shattered by his own struggles with this terrible enemy, who possesses an unexplainable ability to locate the disease’s hosts. Violent and unpredictable, Perry is both the nation’s best hope and a terrifying liability. Hardened CIA veteran Dew Phillips must somehow forge a connection with him if they’re going to stand a chance against this maddeningly adaptable opponent. Alongside them is Margaret Montoya, a brilliant epidemiologist who fights for a cure even as she reels under the weight of endless horrors. <br><br>These three and their team have kept humanity in the game, but that’s not good enough anymore, not when the disease turns contagious, triggering a fast countdown to Armageddon. Meanwhile, other enemies join the battle, and a new threat — one that comes from a most unexpected source — may ultimately prove the most dangerous of all.<br><br>Catapulting the reader into a world where humanity’s life span is measured in hours and the president’s finger hovers over the nuclear button, rising star Scott Sigler takes us on a breathtaking, hyper-adrenalized ride filled with terror and jaw-dropping action. <i>Contagious</i> is a truly grand work of suspense, science, and horror from a new master. 3648052 30 12 2008 Contagious total:328|5:115|4:134|3:67|2:8|1:4| 328 1332 564 70 3 1 false false Mon Jan 26 11:52:05 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 11:53:02 -0800 2009 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 13:19:30 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 13:40:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false true Thu Apr 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 21:53:33 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 01:00:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Sep 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 21:52:16 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 21:50:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Sep 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 09:15:06 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 07:14:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 14:14:15 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 18:59:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Apr 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 15:21:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 22:07:48 -0700 2009
I didn't like this book as much as the first one. I like the growing relationship between Dew and Dawsey.
