A inexplicable disorder threatens to damage the entire world in this high-concept thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Matt Richtel, which combines medical knowledge, cutting-edge technology, and breathtaking suspense in the vein of Michael Crichton. An airplane lands at a desolate airport terminal in a remote Colorado skiing town. Onboard, Dr. Lyle Martin, a world-class infectious disease specialist, is brusquely awakened to shocking news: Everyone not on the aircraft appears to be inactive. A lethal new kind of virus may have surfaced, intimidating our survival, and now Martin - one of the very most sought after virologists on the planet until his job took a precipitous slip - is at the center of the analysis. The symptoms will be the most confounding the experienced doctor has ever seen. Could it be the work of terrorists? A biological attack? An all natural occurrence? As word of the lethal sickness spreads, panic leads to assault and chaos. Armed and terrified partisans and patriots, stoked by technology and communal multimedia, have dug in, unknowingly creating fertile floor for the lethal syndrome Dr. Martin has begun to identify. As the world commences to unravel and paranoia and hatred take hold, Martin is pressured to face a question as terrifying as this syndrome itself: Is the world better kept unsaved? Moving at a breakneck pace from the labs of the Centers for Disease Control to the secret campus of Yahoo X to the marble halls of the Capitol, Dead on Entrance is a brilliantly imaginative high-concept thriller that draws on Matt Richtel's years of knowledge and technology reporting for the New York Times and establishes him as one of the premier technical thriller freelance writers working today.
