Human Reservoir

Paperback (Independently published Oct. 26, 2019)
As a reverse zoonosis threatens to kill off the livestock of the US and beyond, a handful of veterinarians in the Midwest scramble to find the cause and contain the outbreak before the entire food chain- and all that it impacts- is affected. In a quiet community tucked away between the cattle ranchers and dairy farms, where chickenpox and measles parties are still taking place, the emergence of a devastating and unknown virus will quickly change everything. But was it organic or the work of terrorists? Dr. Cam Carter, an outsider trying to establish her veterinary business among the sparse residents, was first to see its beginnings. But it would take several weeks before the source of the virus would be realized. With no one focusing on the loss of small animals in the community, all attention turns to the high-density cattle farms in the area, and the rapid spread of a deadly and unknown illness through the livestock. With the aid of federal agencies, the rush is on to contain the outbreak before the entire food chain- and all that it impacts- is affected. The fallout ensues both nationally and internationally- caused by the widespread terror and panic- while government agencies scramble over jurisdiction issues. Will a vaccine be found in time before it’s too late?
