• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Comparable to World War Z (the movie), only with a strong female lead and a blistering international conspiracy. Ruby Spencer plans to resign from the U.S. Special Warfare Council. With an escalating Extinction Level Infection (ELI), the SWC needs the best minds acutely focused on the fight ahead. Yet motherhood has shifted her priorities. She's preoccupied with her newborn's health and safety. So resigning is the right choice. For her last assignment, the SWC sends Ruby and husband Clay on a low-risk mission to Taiwan where they'll consult with scientists analyzing the infection. Too bad Lt. Col. Quinton Oxford-the American Consulate's embittered military attaché, is waiting in the shadows. Because Ox's plans for the couple are everything but low-risk. When the Spencers are separated and kidnapped from Taiwan to Moscow, Ruby is thrust into a perverse war game between superpowers, where she's the prize. Only she doesn't know why. Or even how her abduction relates to the ELI crisis. But her connection with Zoonosis Mutated Bacteria (ZOM-B) is emerging. And the fate of her family, of the world, awaits her next move.

Autorenporträt

Julia Ash's favorite books are contemporary or near-future which push into the imagined, and her debut novel THE ONE AND ONLY lands squarely in that sweet-spot. Like the books she reads and writes, she mirrors the melding of extremes in her personal life. While the bulk of her career was spent working in public relations for a school system - focused on facts and information, she grew up in a historical home - one haunted by the paranormal. She lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore, near the ocean, and belongs to a hunting-and-fishing club in the Pocono Mountains.
