Winner of the Angus Book Award 2001Winner of the Lancashire Children’s Book of the Year Award 2001In hospital a man lies dying in the most horrific, unimaginable way. Attacked by a virus, he is leaking blood. It’s happened before – in Zaire – but this is not Zaire. It’s the middle of England and it’s spreading fast. The town is sealed off. Rev, Lucy and Scott are trapped in the barbed-wire ghetto as the body count rises. Where did the plague come from? Can it be contained? What – or who – can stop it?‘Who could think of any place more safe and dull than Milton Keynes? But as teenagers, Rev, Lucy and Scott while away the summer, an invisible enemy is heading their way. Soon the town is in the grip of a deadly virus that causes its victims to haemorrhage to death. This is not the most literary of novels, but it is a compulsive page turner that would grip even the most reluctant reader. It even succeeds in making viral science seem sexy, which is no mean feat.’ The Guardian.‘From the violent cover and the title, I didn’t think this book would appeal, but it is infectious. The narrative is interspersed with worrying factual sections on diseases, viruses, human and animal parasites and their habits which will have you washing very carefully long after the book is finished. But, a real page-turner with some sensible points to make about class prejudice, animal experimentation and animal rights activists.’ Tina Massey, Carousel Guide to Children’s Books.‘Malcolm Rose has written a heart racing whodunnit with a difference, that keeps you absorbed until the very last page. This is a truly unputdownable thriller.’ Burton Daily News.‘If they have books in heaven this one would greet you on the way up!’ Judging Panel of The Lancashire Children’s Book of the Year Award.
