‘Diverting and never less than expertly crafted’ Guardian

‘A pacy thriller with a great eye for detail and plenty of gloriously icky moments’ SFX

And as the origins of the Master who unleashed the epidemic are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race – worse even than annihilation...
