juΒ·das strain, n. A scientific term for
an organism that drives an entire species to extinction
A master at combining historical and
scientific intrigue with cutting-edge adventure, New
York
Times bestselling author of Map of Bones and
Black Order James Rollins returns with his most
relentless, high-octane thriller to dateβa terrifying story
of an ancient menace reborn to plague the modern world . .
.
and of an impossible hope that lies hidden in the most
shocking place imaginable: within the language of
angels. From the depths of the Indian Ocean, a
horrific plague has arisen to devastate humankindβa disease
that's unknown, unstoppable . . . and deadly. But it is
merely a harbinger of the doom that is to follow.
Aboard a cruise liner transformed into a makeshift
hospital,
Dr. Lisa Cummings and Monk Kokkalisβoperatives of the
shadowy covert organization SIGMA Forceβsearch for answers
to the bizarre affliction that has inexplicably washed
ashore. But there are others with far less altruistic
intentions. In a savage and sudden coup, terrorists hijack
the vessel, turning a mercy ship into a floating bio-
weapons
lab. At a Fourth of July celebration a world away,
SIGMA's commander Gray Pierce thwarts the murderous schemes
of a beautiful assassinβa would-be killer who holds the
first clue to the discovery of a possible cure. With the
fate of every man, woman, and child on Earth hanging in the
balance, Pierce joins forces with the woman who wanted him
dead, and together they embark upon an astonishing questβ
one
that winds through Venetian tombs, Byzantine cathedrals,
and
jungle-encrusted ruinsβfollowing the trail of the most
fabled explorer in history: Marco Polo. But
time is an enemy as a worldwide pandemic grows rapidly out
of control. And as a relentless madman dogs their every
step, Pierce and his unlikely ally are being pulled into an
astonishing mystery buried deep in antiquity and in
humanity's genetic code. And as the seconds tick closer to
doomsday, Pierce will realize he can truly trust no oneβnot
the bewitching enigma who runs at his side or even those
who
are closest to himβfor any one of them could be . . . a
Judas.
