Synopsis
For fans of Michael Crichton and James Rollins. From the author of NEOGENESIS and the acclaimed The Ancient Secrets series comes a new science-fiction adventure. It’s silent. It’s invisible. It’s smaller than a bacterium. Yet it could be the end of all life. And it’s not from around here… When an asteroid crashes into the Alaskan wilderness, it brings with it a pathogen more deadly than anything ever seen before. A group of scientists becomes the last line of defense between the organism and life on Earth. Containment becomes a race against time, because if the Xenophage spreads, there won’t be anyone left to tell the tale. Don’t miss the new stand-alone sci-fi thriller by T.S. Falk.
