description: In the heart of the rain forest, something deadly is stirring. Older than life itself, it feeds on the living, silently, mercilessly, with a speed and fatality matched only by the terror of its gruesome symptoms. Patrick Lynch's Carriers captures this fear, and presents a world where the war between mankind and nature makes any victory for science temporary at best. When a plague-like outbreak strikes Indonesia and a team of American biological-warfare experts are brought in to discover its source, they find only corpses and riddles without answers - until Holly Becker arrives. She's come to the jungle to find her two young daughters, likely victims of the terrible plague, and in her quest may lie the secret to the terror that threatens to engulf them all.Deep in the rain forest, a team of American biological-warfare experts is investigating an outbreak--and discovering nothing but corpses and riddles without answers. This virus is mercilessly quick. Powerfully contagious. And most frightening of all--it is airborne. "Imagine a bug one hundred times more contagious than ebola."--USA Today.
