| Publisher Description: "EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST PART OF THE STAND."--Amazon reviewer ***** DEATH HAS A NEW COLOR A fast-paced, gripping thriller in the tradition of Michael Crichton, Robin Cook, and Dan Brown, The Red Death is a thriller fueled by the re-emergence of an ancient plague that gave rise to the Black Death--and the people trying to stop it. The question is: How do you stop something that you can't see? AN ANCIENT DISEASE re-emerges in the heart of New York City-a deadly bacteria that gave rise to the Black Death. 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. 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-or has the First Horseman of the Apocalypse, Plague, already opened the gates to our final annihilation? Praise for The Red Death "It is a story that is chilling because of how easily we could see this happening today. Excellent read." --Terri, Mayhem and Magic "The Red Death is a thrilling tale a deadly pandemic. Recommended." --Robert D.
