Outbreak (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798348529864)

Outbreak: A Robert Cook Medical Mystery

By John Lonergan

A deadly virus. A global conspiracy. One man stands between humanity and catastrophe.

When a mysterious viral outbreak emerges in the small coastal town of Pornic, France, Dr. Robert Cook, an elite epidemiologist and former intelligence operative, is called to investigate. What initially appears to be a natural epidemic quickly unravels into something far more sinister-a potential bioweapon unleashed with devastating precision.

As Cook and his team at the EuroCDC dig deeper, they uncover a terrifying truth: the virus bears an alarming resemblance to Marburg, one of the deadliest pathogens known to man. Yet, unlike natural outbreaks, this strain has no clear origin-no recent travel to Africa, no known patient zero. The clues point to a rogue bioweapons program, with disturbing ties to Russian military labs and clandestine experiments in infectious disease warfare.

With time running out, Cook must navigate a treacherous web of government cover-ups, scientific deception, and international espionage. From the corridors of European medical institutions to shadowy intelligence networks in Moscow, he follows a trail of destruction that leads him to an even darker truth-someone is testing the limits of biological warfare, and this outbreak may only be the beginning.

Racing against a virus that spreads faster than the truth, Cook must use his expertise in virology and counterterrorism to stop the next attack before millions are at risk. But as he gets closer to uncovering the masterminds behind the outbreak, he becomes their next target.

A pulse-pounding blend of medical suspense and international intrigue, Outbreak is a gripping thriller perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Robin Cook, and Daniel Kalla. With cutting-edge science, high-stakes action, and a relentless pace, this is a novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
