Contagion (Stambaugh)

When a disease cannot be defeated, it must be contained. A father learns his daughter has caught the deadly contagion virus. It's only a matter of time before the CDC finds out and erases the family from society forever. Vincent Gallo and his family watch in horror as their neighbors are "contained" by the CDC after their child is discovered to be infected with The Contagion. Reeling from the trauma and horror of what happened to their neighbors, Vincent's oldest daughter, Alegra, now shows the marks of the virus. Now the Gallo's must decide whether they can keep their daughter's infection hidden from the watchful eyes of the CDC and a fearful population, or take their chances and run. Contagion is the first book of the 3-part Contagion Series. If you like chilling, thrilling, suspense-filled action, and stories of government conspiracy, you'll love Contagion.

Vincent Gallo watched as his wife and children sailed away to safety under the protection of his old smuggling friend. With the help of a mysterious cyber-presence known only as "Orpheus," he must now find a way to locate and rescue his oldest daughter, Alegra, contained by the CDC as they were on the brink of escaping as a family, and rushed off to carry out her life sentence in a containment facility. Without knowing whether or not her family made it out of the country alive and well, Alegra must adapt to life inside the CDC containment facility. Having never lived on her own, she is now forced to grow up quickly, and learn to protect herself in a place where people from all walks of life are thrown together against their will; both the good, and the bad. Bianca Gallo boarded the boat for Russia knowing that she would be sailing away without her oldest daughter, then, at the last minute, finds that her husband would be staying behind, as well. Left to the care of Anatoly, a friend from Vincnet's mysterious past, she must find a way to survive in a foreign land, and protect her children while learning to trust a man she barely knows. Detainment is the second volume of the three-part Contagion series, following the exciting story of a family fighting to survive.

Vincent Gallo and his family have survived being hunted by the CDC, shootouts with government forces, sinking ships, and unforgiving weather. But now they face a new threat! The release of the Contagion Virus back into the population again. Now the Gallo family must find a way to survive in the wasteland that they used to call home. Where the very air they breathe could mean death from the deadly virus, survivors, and abandoned soviet soldiers, who all compete for the same slim resources where ever they can be found.
