Eight plagues have ravaged humanity down through history.
The deadliest one’s contained aboard a long-forgotten submarine.
And the fate of the world rests on whoever ends up controlling it!
When a sonar scan reveals the wreck of a submarine in the depths of the Arabian Sea, the last person you’d think to contact is an epidemiologist. Unless that epidemiologist possesses a top-secret clearance, underwater experience, and a high tolerance for danger.
Doctor Leigh Austen would quibble over that last qualification. But she’s both horrified and fascinated at what this sub’s carrying: vials of Exovirus. Long thought extinct, this strain killed a third of humanity and collapsed the civilization of ancient Egypt before it vanished.
She and security specialist Nicholas Navarro’s team of mercenaries travel to the Ultra-Deep Lift vessel Matagorda. Austen’s there to oversee medical containment. Navarro and his men are there to keep watch on the multiple warships circling the watery gravesite like hungry sharks.
Can Austen survive the powder-keg situation on the surface, prevent the microbe from falling into the wrong hands…and prevent the ninth plague from wreaking havoc across the globe?
Author’s Note: The Ninth Plague: A Pandemic Medical Thriller contains a limited amount of strong language, gore, and some graphic violence. Ratings-wise, it would either be a hard PG-13 or soft R. Please decide to purchase accordingly.
Included with this story are previews and a special offer for the novella, The Plague Walker: A Leigh Austen Short Medical Thriller.
Genre: Thriller
