Biochemist Emma Caldridge joins Jackson Rand,
pharmaceutical CEO, on a humanitarian mission to deliver
vaccines to remote villages in Africa. But after narrowly
escaping a crew of trained assassins, Emma realizes that
there is more to this mission than she anticipated. Rand
is keeping secrets from her, information that could cost
both of them their lives…not to mention millions more.
After its eradication nearly forty years ago, the smallpox
virus is once again threatening the world. With no known
cure and limited stores of vaccine, the highly contagious,
deadly and disfiguring disease has the power to wipe out
entire cities. Rand’s company was hired to secure the last
known vials, but some have gone missing in Africa and a
ruthless government now hunts them for use as a
biochemical weapon.
Emma must locate these vials before the killer plague is
unleashed on the innocent, ravaging a world that never
expected to see it again. She runs to the border, finding
and freeing hostages as she does. But an insurgency is
rising around them, blocking their every attempt to
escape. Surrounded and with no choice but to head to the
desert, Emma must stop the virus and lead her ragtag team
to freedom…if the Sahara doesn’t kill them first.
