Summary
Bob Easton thinks he has a cold. Before he dies in agony, four days later, he infects dozens of people. Local health agencies become quickly overwhelmed by the sick and dying, and beg the CDC for help. Dr. Michael Beck and Cara Porter, a member of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, race to identify the deadly bug. They can't cure it until they know what it is.
Dennis and Andi Jensen and their children are terrified. Schools and offices close. Fresh food disappears from store shelves. Three of their children's friends die. Their neighbors are dying or running away, fleeing the unstoppable infection. Desperate, the Jensens join the exodus, making a nightmarish journey to their isolated mountain cabin along empty roads, through abandoned towns, past looted shopping malls.
The superbug - and the panic - quickly spreads beyond America’s borders. On a packed plane, someone coughs - and at their destination, the pilots are told, "You can’t land here." US military bases are quarantined. Yet the virus continues to spread. Some believe the plague is man-made. Others see it as a sign of the end times.
In the lab, Cara Porter makes a potentially fatal mistake. In the mountains, Andi Jensen tells her husband that she doesn’t feel well. The world is running out of time.

Story line
An interesting story but took a long time to come together and while trying to sound dramatic at times it did not achieve its goal.

Terrible Narration!
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The author narrates his own story in this book - and practically kills it. Stick to writing Mr Mara - do not EVER try to narrate your own work!
What did you like best about this story?
The story was relatively engaging - you could (with some effort) relate to the characters. It was a typical virus outbreak novel, without the in-depth medical/scientific information that most books of this genre appear to have.
Would you be willing to try another one of Wil Mara’s performances?
No - he has a monotone delivery and does not differentiate between characters - which makes following dialogue (of which there is quite a considerable amount) almost impossible. You cannot work out who is saying what, and the complete lack of emotion conveyed in the delivery means you don't really care anyway.
