HARD RESET: THE STORY OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING!

by Edward Payne

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WILL CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER! This action-packed thriller presents a Global Pandemic of a different variety with eerie similarities to the current crisis. Join the millions of readers hungry to get a glimpse into just what it takes to battle a deadly contagion like Coronavirus. Unlike COVID-19, this pathogen attacks the brain. Otherwise, healthy victims exhibit violent and deadly rage prior to their inevitable demise causing civil unrest in the streets of America and beyond. By the year 2020, our planet was on the brink of ecological disaster and nothing of substance was being done to change that. Hard Reset unfolds the drama as Biology steps in to do what mankind would not. Seemingly overnight, the world is shaken to its core by an explosive global contagion. This mysterious illness is leaving young people virtually untouched, while older people are dying at a catastrophic rate. Hard Reset gives readers a view of the front line as the CDC struggles to find the cause of this mysterious disease. Samantha Moore is a feisty, young Epidemiologist who has just begun her career at the CDC. Hungry to make a name for herself, she is eager to take whatever risks are necessary to prove her worth. She quickly finds herself thrown onto the front line of the deadliest global pandemic in history. The chaos in the streets builds as hospitals reach capacity, supply chains break down, and general panic ensues as the infected wreak havoc on those closest to them. Spouses, neighbors, priests, and politicians are not immune. They all possess the capacity for the unbridled rage that is the hallmark of this monstrous disease. Murder rates skyrocket as the disease spreads around the globe. Hard Reset offers a terrifying glimpse into the future. It also presents a hopeful vision for change. Bill Gates and other titans of Silicon Valley saw this coming a decade earlier. Together they pooled their vast resources and launched a clandestine plan for survival and birth of a more just and equitable civilization. DISCLAIMER The entirety of Hard Reset was written prior to the outbreak of the Covid-19 Global Pandemic. Although the story has many similarities to the current crisis, each of them was based on the author's educated guess as to the shape and scope that the next pandemic may take. This novel and the entire Reset series is dedicated to all of those who died at the hands of this terrible disease.
