La cura
by Glenn CooperUn virus muy contagioso destruye la memoria y lleva la sociedad al borde del colapso. Después de años de investigación, el doctor Steadman está a punto de saborear el éxito y ser aclamado como el creador de la cura del Alzheimer. Poco importa si para llegar hasta ahí ha corrido un enorme riesgo que puede acabar con la humanidad. Su negligencia ha provocado una mutación de la cura en un virus extraordinariamente contagioso que arrasa la memoria de las víctimas y las lleva a un terrible estado de indefensión absoluta. Una catástrofe global. En pocos días, millones de personas en todo el mundo pierden la memoria a causa de un virus desconocido y muy contagioso. Sin recuerdos, hombres y mujeres se comportan como animales, empujados por el hambre y el miedo. Las ciudades están al borde del colapso, sin suministro eléctrico, ni agua corriente, ni alimentos. Solo unos pocos parecen inmunes al contagio y se refugian en sus casas, a la espera de un milagro. Jamie Abbott, un neurocijano que ha participado en la investigación, se embarca en un largo viaje junto a su hija, una de las primeras contagiadas, para colaborar en una cura eficaz que pueda detener la pandemia. El mundo se ha vuelto un lugar inhóspito y muy peligroso, la única esperanza del doctor Abbot es que todavía quede alguien ahí fuera que recuerde qué es lo que nos hace humanos. Porque cuando todas las certezas se desvanecen y la memoria se evapora, es necesario unir las fuerzas y actuar antes de que la civilización se convierta en una tabula rasa. Reseñas:«Cooper no es un escritor de thrillers cualquiera, sino uno que da respuesta a los grandes temas.»Sunday Telegraph «Dinámico y original, Cooper se entrega.»Sun «Estilo excepcional, tensión y un argumento que engancha.»Eurocrime «Con mucho ritmo e inspiracional... no te decepcionará.»Fresh Fiction «Incandescente y explosivo.»James Rollins «Un grandísisimo escritor.»Gianluigi Nuzzi

The Cure: A Thriller
by Bradlee FrazerA medical thriller that asks: What if we had the cure for a catastrophic illness—but it lay hidden inside the blood and bones of just one man? A mysterious new contagion is decimating the population. It starts in the lungs, like the flu, then moves to the bones, where it weakens and breaks them, eventually killing the host. The disease&’s origin, methods of propagation, and means of contraction are all unknown. There is no vaccine, and none is expected, as the virus is protean and elusive. If it remains unchecked and mutates into a more virulent form, it will become an extinction level event. Jason Kramer has the disease, known by its nickname &“Trips Lite&”—the CDC doctor who discovered it was a fan of Stephen King&’s The Stand—but his body produces a unique antibody that kills the viruses inside him. This component in Jason&’s blood can be harvested and given to anyone who needs it. His blood can heal. But pharmaceutical magnate Phillip Porter needs to keep people believing that only his expensive drug cocktail will slow Trips Lite down, and so if there&’s any chance someone with the disease will live, Phillip must make sure that Jason does not . . . &“If Stephen King and Michael Crichton had written Double Indemnity, it would have been The Cure.&” —D.J. Butler, author of Rock Band Fights Evil
