The Lambda Factor
"When people are dying, it's easier sometimes. You can be all-powerful-even heroic. You don't have to think about how much courage it takes to dwell among the living, to fight for your own life. Lots of caregivers get addicted that way."
When a category five hurricane threatens a Galveston hospital, patients and nonessential personnel are required to evacuate. Doctors Danica Diza and Shaka Sen, a chief family medicine resident and a surgical attending respectively, are tapped, along with a skeleton crew, to stay during the storm and care for remaining patients. Their facade of confidence is shattered, however, when the hospital's inhabitants are exposed to a weaponized strain of a virus with a forty percent death rate. Forced into quarantine, they must struggle to survive the ravages of the hurricane, a shortage of supplies, and the virus that threatens them all. Written by physician and debut author Dimple Desai, this striking medical thriller provokes readers to consider the dangerous trends happening in our world today and the global changes needed to abate them.

LOVED this one!
This book was written in such a compelling way and was so vividly constructed that I constantly found myself wondering if the author is a screen writer. The way it bounces back and fourth between the hospital and the outside world, interspersed with little bits of scenes from the CDC and the team monitoring the hurricane from inside of it was brilliant! It's beautifully positioned for a Netflix adaptation and I would be so happy to see one! I just can't rave enough! Hope there's more from this author soon!
