The cargo plane that slammed into the Alaskan wilderness carried six vials of a lethal orthohantavirus. Each vial contains enough material to ignite its own firestorm of contagion.\u003cbr\u003eAnd one already lies shattered on an icy hillside, its contents scattered to the wind.\u003cbr\u003eAusten's pulled into the CDC's desperate efforts to contain the outbreak before it blossoms into a full bore pandemic. But the five remaining vials are nowhere to be found at the crash site.

It contains a limited amount of gore, violence, and strong language. Ratings-wise, it would either be a hard PG-13 or soft R.

I'm also a big fan of the modern-day thriller writers like Craig Martelle, Michael Anderle, and Tess Gerritsen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo I've been writing these new medical thrillers as a unique mix of the two kinds of books. Epidemiologist Leigh Austen encounters similarly apocalyptic threats...and she does in a world rife with international skullduggery and conspiracy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ - Why should readers give these books a try? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA - Because you'll get to meet a bunch of memorable characters - scientists, soldiers, doctors, even a shadowy Nostradamus-like figure - in the midst of intriguing medical thrillers filled with action, humor and heart. (Yes, I paraphrased one of my reviewers, but I can't put it any better.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ - Tell us more about epidemiologist Leigh Austen - what makes her tick?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA - Leigh's the kind of person who'll move mountains to help someone. She also carries hidden scars from the time her medical team was wiped out by a killer virus in \u003ci\u003eThe Plague Walker\u003c\/i\u003e. For that reason alone she'll go to any length to stop a local outbreak from turning into a global pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 09, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52557858832691,"sku":"9798652417772","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TdN2x_IYJe9798652417772.webp?v=1761195228","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-wildfire-pathogen-a-plague-walker-pandemic-medical-thriller-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
