The Red Death

By Birgitte Märgen

Book Overview

The RATS were the first sign.

An ancient disease re-emerges in the heart of New York City-a deadly bacteria that gave rise to the Black Death.

The RED RINGS were the second.

Maggie De Luca, an epidemiologist who is fighting her own demons, works to uncover clues to contain the disease, but is always one step behind-her fate determined by the flip of a coin.

DEATH was the third.

Microbiologist Michael Harbinger believes he can make a vaccine that can stop the disease, but to do so would require an elusive plant that only grows in a remote region of the Amazon. With the help of J.D. Stallings, a paleoanthropologist, and Samantha Boutroux, a bacteriologist, they set out to find the plant that holds the key before the Red Death pandemic grips the world.

The PLAGUE HORSEMAN was the fourth.

Or has the First Horseman of the Apocalypse, Plague, already opened the gates to our final annihilation?

THERE WILL BE NO FIFTH.

"And Darkness and Decay

and the Red Death held illimitable

dominion over all."

-Edgar Allan Poe
