Summary

A deadly outbreak in Kenya. A conspiracy beyond imagination. And a race to save humanity in its darkest hour.

From A. G. Riddle, the worldwide best-selling author of The Atlantis Gene and Departure, comes a novel that will change everything you think you know about pandemics.

A hundred miles north of Alaska, an American Coast Guard vessel discovers a sunken submarine at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. It has no national identification and doesn't match the records of any known vessel. Deep within, researchers find evidence of a scientific experiment that will alter our very understanding of the human race.

In Atlanta, Dr. Peyton Shaw is awakened by the phone call she has dreaded for years. As the CDC's leading epidemiologist, she's among the first responders to outbreaks around the world. It's a lonely and dangerous job, but it's her life - and she's good at it. This time she may have met her match. In Kenya, an Ebola-like pathogen has infected two Americans. One lies at death's door. With the clock ticking, Peyton assembles her team and joins personnel from the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the WHO. What they find in the remote village is beyond their worst fears. As she traces the origin of the pathogen, Peyton begins to believe that there is more to this outbreak - that it may be merely the opening act in a conspiracy with far-reaching consequences.

In Berlin, Desmond Hughes awakens in a hotel room with no memory of how he got there or who he is. On the floor he finds a dead security guard from an international pharmaceutical company. His only clue leads him to Peyton Shaw - a woman who seems to know him but refuses to tell him how. With the police searching the city for him, Desmond desperately tries to piece together what happened to him. To his shock and horror, he learns that he may be involved in causing the outbreak - and could hold the only key to stopping it.

As the pathogen spreads around the world, Peyton and Desmond race to unravel the conspiracy behind the pandemic - and uncover secrets some want to keep buried.

This story has a similar feel as the Atlantis series. Just plausible enough to be believable: just fantastic enough to work. Sometimes the story seems to slow down, but I never felt disengaged. Riddle uses a great deal of memories / flashbacks. Each is a self contained short story that reveals some essential part of the character. There are a few unexpected twists near the end. Edoardo Bellerini is an excellent reader. Female voices are believable and varied, and accents are consistent. Downloading Extinction Files book 2 right now!

Well written and engagingly performed

Well crafted story. A mix of a Bourne movie with an epidemic outbreak story. Enjoyable character development. A mix of a foreseeable future combined with current realism.

So glad to be introduced to this

Pandemic was on an audible promo for 7.50$ and I had just finished the last book in the undying mercenaries series so decided to give it a shot. The story does start off a little slow but picks up the pace quickly. My favourite part of the book is how unsure you are of each character but once you learn their back story you develop an emotional attachment and as the narrative progresses it only gets stronger. I would highly recommend if your into science, tech, politics and secret society’s. #Audible1

Overall pretty good story. Looking forward to Book 2. I hope it's the same narrator.

Good performance

I was expecting this to be a little slower than it was. It was here and there patchy and they lost the excitement that was being built. But overall it was well worth the listen.

Surprisingly good.
