关于此电子书

The world ends, life goes on . . . A sharp-witted novel that asks: After surviving, what do you do next?

“This is not an apocalypse, it’s an adjustment. There is still electricity. There is still the internet. There is still order. We will adapt and we will survive.” —U.S. government

After twenty years of toil, Russian researchers drilled through nearly four kilometers of ice and reached Lake Vostok, a massive body of fresh water. Unfortunately, their efforts released the microorganisms entombed inside, which nature had managed to keep sealed off from the rest of the world for twenty-five million years.

Tiny, aggressive, and lethal, the microbes emerged from the ancient lake and wormed their way into the world’s water supply. Anyone who washed their hands or took a sip of water absorbed these primal parasites and died in a fraction of a second. How do you live when the very thing you need to exist can kill you?

But death was only the beginning. The micro-killers reanimate the corpses of their victims. Their swarm intelligence enables them to observe, scheme, and cause a hell of a lot of trouble. Rot and decay forces them to hunt for a fresh host—they’re always on the lookout for the remaining survivors. Then three teenagers, one child, and one adult stumble upon a possible cure—but they have to live long enough to share their life-saving discovery with the world.

作者简介

Tina Clark-Armstrong received a degree in German and Art History from Brigham Young University in 1993, then spent the following year working for Hyatt Hotels on Capital Hill in Washington DC. She lived the next fourteen years in London while sitting on the board of corporate finance company Logic Systems Management. She began lobbying for a change in aviation law in 2002 in response to her husband’s death in an L-39 ex-fighter jet and was able to successfully change an edict that had not been updated since World War Two. She prefers to spend her time exploring Europe, Africa, the Far East and the Middle East. She has occupied herself on her travels with skydiving, mountain climbing and cage diving with sharks and crocodiles (though not at the same time). The side effect of her adventures is a writing style that aims to both entertain and make the heart race.

Mrs. Clark-Armstrong moved back to the D.C. area in 2009. She currently lives in Mclean, Virginia with her husband Russell Armstrong, her children James, Katerina and Jessica, her cats Nemesis and Noodle and her dog Naked. She spends her downtime writing the sequels to Notes From A Necrophobe and giving tours at the Library of Congress.
