Joe Rush takes on a new terror, spawned in the Amazon rain forest, that threatens to bring the world to its knees in James Abel's latest bio-thriller, now in paperback. While studying new forms of malaria at an Amazon gold rush, Joe Rush's best friend and partner, Eddie Nakamura, disappears. Learning that many of the sick miners have also vanished, Rush begins a search for Eddie that takes him into the heart of darkness--where while battling for his life, he discovers a secret that may change the world. Thousands of miles away, sick people are starting to flood into U.S. hospitals. When the White House admits that it has received terrorist threats, cities across the Northeast begin to shut down. Rush and his team must journey from one of the most remote spots on Earth to one of the busiest, as the clock ticks toward a kind of annihilation not thought possible. They have even less time than they think to solve the mystery, for the danger--as bad as it is--is about to get even worse.

Reviews:

Praise for the novels of James Abel   Cold Silence  

“James Abel mines the best of Douglas Preston and James Rollins in the riveting Cold Silence...Like Preston and Rollins, Abel excels at making technological mumbo jumbo accessible to those of us without degrees in science. Cold Silence entertains as it informs, a rare feat comparable to Michael Crichton at his best.”

— Providence Journal  

“James Abel’s flair for dialogue and plotting kept me reading...Good, apocalyptic fun.”

— The News & Observer  

Protocol Zero  

“Clive Cussler fans will relish the pseudonymous Abel’s sequel to White Plague...Abel nicely blends action and science in the service of a plausible, but terrifying, plot, peopled with well-developed characters.”

— Publishers Weekly    

White Plague  

“If you like Tom Clancy and Martin Cruz Smith, then you need to read James Abel.” —Linda Fairstein, New York Times bestselling author of Killer Look  

“[A] hard-driving thriller of the modern Arctic. Fast, well-written entertainment wrapped around something to think about.”—John Sandford, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Escape Clause

Inside, on July 10, the White House National Security Team was celebrating a victory over the Senate Committee on Intelligence when the stranger appeared. The “Protectors” had overcome a 4–1 deficit to win the division championship. Twelve sweaty men and women sat drinking cold draft beer and eating the pub’s famed Diplomat Burgers, reliving the game. Their come-from-behind victory had been so satisfying that for once no one talked shop. Nothing about this morning’s raid by FBI agents in Miami, where a gun battle and explosion had destroyed a small home. Three “foreign males,” as neighbors described them, had rented the house, barricaded themselves inside, and blown themselves up rather than surrender. “All evidence was obliterated,” the FBI report said. Nothing about jihadist branches popping up in South America. Or the U.S./China face-off in the South China Sea. Just softball and gossip, until the cute Thai waitress bent over and told Deputy Assistant National Secretary Advisor Kyle Utley that a man needed to speak to him, outside. “Tell him to come in.” ...
