Book Synopsis
"Part present-day political satire, part Robin Cook thriller, and part pure entertainment." —Lee Woodruff, New York Times best-selling coauthor of In an Instant

Trade Review
"A brilliant and bold novel. Get ready for twists and turns, exploring life and death decisions, and the intrigue, good and bad, of political leadership as the country searches to solve a pathogen crisis. This is an exciting and exhilarating read, and provides some needed lessons for our country today." -- Matthew Dowd, chief political analyst, ABC News
"An entertaining political satire…like a West Wing marathon, with Sorkin-esque dialogue, well-drawn characters, and sharp-edged infighting…A highly readable and intelligent first novel." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[A] race-against-the-clock satire…Wheelan draws deeply on his intimate knowledge of the world of governance and politics to create his first novel, an eminently credible tale of a worst-case scenario that one hopes never comes to pass." -- Booklist
