They
call it Pandoravirus. It attacks the brain. Anyone infected may
explode in uncontrollable rage. Blind to pain, empty of emotion, the
infected hunt and are hunted. They attack without warning and without
mercy. Their numbers spread unchecked. There is no known cure.
Emma
Miller studies diseases for a living—until she catches the virus.
Now she’s the one being studied by the U.S. government and by her
twin sister, neuroscientist Isabel Miller. Rival factions debate
whether to treat the infected like rabid animals to be put down, or
victims deserving compassion. As Isabel fights for her sister's life,
the infected are massing for an epic battle of survival. And it looks
like Emma is leading the way . . .
Raised
in a small town in Mississippi, Eric L. Harry graduated from
the Marine Military Academy in Texas and studied Russian and
Economics at Vanderbilt University, where he also got a J.D. and
M.B.A. In addition, he studied in Moscow and Leningrad in the USSR,
and at the University of Virginia Law School. He began his legal
career in private practice in Houston, negotiated complex
multinational mergers and acquisitions around the world, and rose to
be general counsel of a Fortune 500 company. He left to raise a
private equity fund and co-found a successful oil company. His
previous thrillers include Arc Light, Society of the Mind,
Protect and Defend and Invasion. His
books have been published in eight countries. He and his wife have
three children and divide their time between Houston and San Diego.

I'll post my thanks to you in English for hosting this book, the first novel in my new Pandora series about a global pandemic. Pandoravirus causes brain damage in its victims and causes them to mimic the behaviors of zombies. (I got the idea from an exercise by neuroscientists to identify the types of brain damage that would have that effect.) That raises moral questions (such as whether to eradicate those sufferers) that are absent from most zombie books and movies (where the answer is an obvious and emphatic, "Yes! Kill them!), and ultimately will lead as the series progresses to the sociological implications of a society in which both Homo sapiens and Homo insapiens attempt to co-exist. I hope you enjoy!
