Carl Sims, a young virologist, discovers a plot hatched by several international researchers to cull, in a matter of weeks, two-thirds of the world's society - some 4.5 billion people - by releasing a deadly trojan. Their goal is to reduce Earth's society from an unsustainable seven billion to two billion. What's he to do? Try to stop the conspiracy, or sign up for it?It's horrific, yes, but what if this culling could avoid the extinction of some 40 percent of the planet's nature? Or if he was certain it was the only way to prevent an even larger individuals die-off, incurring significantly more suffering, by the finish of this hundred years? Or if he were persuaded it represented the one hope for mankind surviving whatsoever? This is in the centre of this thriller, for these infections do, in reality, exist.Most exactly what plagues mankind today - the highest awareness of atmospheric CO₂ in three million years, escalating extinction rates, habitat reduction, fishery collapses, local climate change, polar and glacial ice thaws, arable land reduction, desertification, aquifer depletions, ocean acidification, unprecedented air pollution, looming famine, and communal unrest - stems from overconsumption which, unchecked, will lead to Earth's 6th mass extinction event.
