Eva thought she could outrun the plagues, but she was wrong. The bio-hackers that ripped the world raw are targeting her hometown of Prague, and this time there may be no escaping it.

Now, hunted by police who think she’s a hacker herself, Eva must brave the rotting city streets to find her mother before it’s too late. But with a ruthless agent known as a “Healer” on the prowl, it may only be a matter of time before Eva becomes another victim of his blood-soaked carnage.

In this snowy, ash-strewn apocalypse, Eva’s greatest fear is this new threat may not be coincidence at all... it may be personal.

“It’s action-packed, fast-paced, thrilling and occasionally stomach-turning. Definitely not for the squeamish; being a little iffy about viruses myself, there were several moments where I felt faintly sick. The story’s so good, though, that I ploughed on.”
— A.M. Harte
“A fast-paced, heart in hand, gory, dirty, techno-quick thing, chock-full of characters and plot lines that don’t seem to be related but probably are, set in a dystopian viral future, the world of the ‘home-made virus’.”
