This is the 4th book in this series that features Dr. Lindsey McCall, a medical researcher. She is an amazing character and I highly recommend starting at the beginning. There are several references here that pertain to the previous stories. This time around, in addition to the medical research... which is explained in terms that mere mortals like me can understand easily .. she and her husband are threatened by an enemy of the past... someone who is threatening the world with a horrific disease. She is reunited with her biological daughter, LJ, who she gave up for adoption. LJ's best friend, Morgan Gardner plays a huge part of this story. She has a secret .. one she is scared to tell anyone about... except for Dr. McCall. She hones into what is happening to the patients who are being given the threatening virus in an attempt to destroy the world. Each one of this author's McCall medical mysteries gets better and better. The characters are flawless in their descriptions and the story premise is, not only well-written and detailed, but quite credible.

"A dystopian novel that is the perfect example of a thriller and a mystery all rolled into one. This is the fourth novel in the series; however, I had no issues with catching up or finding my rhythm. The novel follows multiple story lines, but the author handles them with great care and artistry. Lin Wilder did an amazing job in showing different stories and making them all connect perfectly. Fast paced and tremendously developed, the story is riveting. The novel has compelling characters, especially Lindsey and Morgan."
