Von der hinteren Coverseite

By the time Avery Madison photographed the three bodies and gathered blood and tissue samples, the skipper had suited up and joined his two crew members on the emergency boat. The crewmen drew the two craft together as the skipper climbed into Avery's dinghy.
"You need more samples?"
The question confirmed the dread filling Avery's gut. "There are more boats?"
"Eighteen within radar range. None are moving."
All of them were floating caskets.
After seven or eight boats, the revulsion diminished to a stain no stronger than the sea's brownish tint. Avery was able to look beyond the obvious and begin doing what he was here for. Which was to search for reasons, and that meant analyzing the deathly scenes for similarities.
The problem was, he couldn't find anything.
None of the fishermen showed any marks. There were no pustules marring their skin. Nor was there visible evidence of a particular disease.
All these victims had been cut down in the middle of just another day's work. Nets had been spread from most of the boats. The central holds were half-filled with the day's catch. There clearly had been little to no warning. Which meant three things.
Whatever killed them had a very short gestation period.
The infection rate was one hundred percent.
The chance of survival was virtually nil.
