Around the same time, a small outbreak of an unidentified disease in Melbourne, Australia, turns deadly for a few unlucky people, killing a handful. These were the only warning signs of things to come-unimaginable things. Could the two tragedies be connected? Two young scientists from opposite sides of the globe team up in a race against time to save civilization from collapse. The small outbreak is from an advanced form of bacterium that threatens to end humanity. The pathogen has a 50 percent mortality and can reinfect individuals who recover from its wrath. Can these scientists come up with a cure before it's too late? The answer is surprising and leaves the reader with a warning about civilization. The bug eludes every attempt by humanity to control its spread with seemingly intelligent behavior and an array of capabilities never seen before. Finding a cure is further hampered by global politics and public opinion, but mostly by the rapid dissolution of knowledge and infrastructure. This is a seat-of-your-pants science fiction thriller that is hard to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Newman Springs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47576024547479,"sku":"9798896177043","price":1760.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798896177043.webp?v=1774899690","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/collapse-9798896177043","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
