When a tsunami devastates the coast of Southern California, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) establishes a camp to house the tens of thousands of people displaced by the disaster, and the Army is brought in to provide medical services.
Dr. Mallory Hayes is dispatched to the camp by the CDC to prevent the potential spread of disease from contaminated water. What she discovers is far worse than anything she could have imagined - an accelerated HIV-like virus, and a common, everyday microbe, that are proving to be unfailingly deadly.
PARTICLES IN THE AIR is a shockingly realistic tale only an immunologist could write - a tense, high-concept thriller meant to appeal to fans of A.G Riddle, Michael Crichton, Terry Hayes, Richard Preston, and others.
