Summary
From the jungles of Indonesia to the very heart of New York City comes a plague that kills 100 percent of its victims. Medicine's greatest nightmare, this modern Black Death is caused by the most virulent and uncontrollable mutant virus humanity has ever witnessed. And medicine can do nothing to stop its merciless spread.
Scientist Debra Hart and her team of experts are tasked by the United Nations to stop the disease. Racing against time, they must find the cause and the cure and figure out why this deadly disease - spread by bats - is killing thousands in cities across the globe. Debra and her team will struggle to stop the disease from spreading to millions more, even if it means killing off every bat alive.
But fighting to prevent her are manic animal rights' activists who rail against species genocide, even if it means risking the deaths of human beings. And hidden behind a cloak of secrecy is a crazed academic who'll even kill top American government officials to save one living creature. This is the nightmare scenario that Debra faces as the public becomes so terrified of bats that entire communities become vigilantes.

Disappointing
This was very much not what I was expecting. I have read other books about viral outbreaks and was expecting a tension filled thriller that followed the scientist as they struggled to track down the source of the virus and develop a cure before things get to out of control. Coupled with this the struggles of the populace as the virus takes hold, and civilisation start to unravel. What I got (at least for the third I struggled through) was a story that jumped around and lacked credibility. Actions happen seemingly without consequence, baseless stories 'reported' by pop stars and actors carry more weight than statements by informed people. rumour rules the day with no one interested in facts.
The lead character, is not portrayed in a way anyone can really like, she comes across as both arrogant and a fantasist and is not someone I could warm to or for that matter care what happens to them.
This was my first Alan Gold novel and think it is certainly going to be my last. The narrator was OK but some of the accents used didn't really enhance the story.

Just bad
Contains the most terrible British accents ever. The prime minister swings from Irish to Scots to Russian and South African all in one sentence. The narrator must have seen shrek and based it on that
