Pandemic

Pandemic is an explosive medical thriller about a deadly virus, from New York Times-bestselling author Robin Cook. In New York City, a young, seemingly healthy woman is struck down by a respiratory attack as she heads home on the subway. By the time she arrives in Manhattan, she`s dead. She ends up on forensic pathologist Jack Stapleton`s autopsy table, which reveals surprising findings about the cause of death. Fearing the woman`s case could be the first in a severe outbreak of a deadly airborne virus, Jack works in overdrive for a diagnosis. As the inconclusive tests come back, Jack urges his wife, and chief medical examiner, Dr. Laurie Montgomery, to sound the alarm at the mayor`s office, concerned that more cases may follow. When further cases do occur around the city, and then in Los Angeles, London and Rome, Jack enters a race against time to discover the link that connects all the victims before it`s too late . . .
