DRYP Trilogy

An old world killer is back. The race is on to stop a catastrophic pandemic. After an exchange student with bubonic plague turns up in a Reno hospital, a contractor with identical symptoms dies in Los Angeles. The government's official stance is that the cases are isolated and the outbreak is under control. But George Mack, a 30-year public health veteran, quickly realizes this is no ordinary plague. The death toll is too high, and the spread pattern make no sense. As Reno's hospitals fill with plague victims, Mack begins to believe that there is more to the epidemic than the CDC is letting on - and that he must take drastic steps if he hopes to save his city. Medical resident Dr. Susan Barry just wants to finish her training and get a real job. But when plague patients start showing up in her Los Angeles hospital, her plans for the future suddenly go off the rails. Faced with a growing crisis, Susan teams up with an old research mentor to determine the unthinkable: Is the rapidly spreading plague an act of bioterrorism? Racing against the clock, Susan must also confront another disturbing possibility. She may be one of the plague's few survivors. In eastern Oregon, John Harr makes a pact with his fellow ranchers to keep the "California" plague out of the high desert where they live. Using roadblocks and quarantine, Harr and his neighbors think they've secured their home - until a mysterious and heavily armed convoy comes to town, and Harr must use training from his past life in the military to protect the people he loves.

A catastrophic plague pandemic with a one-in-a-million survival rate. A mysterious radio code that precedes the disappearance of survival colonies. A desperate fight to save the remaining survivors from annihilation. After fleeing Los Angeles during the last, desperate throes of the DRYP pandemic, medical resident Susan Barry and critically injured oil company executive Alan Wheeler know their toehold on survival in rural Liberty Valley won't last. They need food, fuel, and help. At first, they reach out to other survivors by radio, but when a mysterious code starts, the other survival colonies disappear from the air one by one. Are the encrypted messages and the disappearances related? As Susan, Alan, and their fellow survivors race to crack the code, one thing becomes clear: something or someone is out to destroy the last of surviving humanity. The question is who and why - and will the Liberty Valley survivors find out in time to make a stand?
