The Bug Hunter

By Ken Davenport

A Deadly Threat. A Reluctant Hero. A Race Against Time.

When a cryptic message-"You have an appointment in Samarra"-is intercepted, few understand its significance. But within months, people along the Eastern Seaboard begin dying from a mysterious toxin. What first appears to be a foodborne illness soon reveals itself as something far more sinister: a bioterrorist attack using genetically modified insects to poison the American food supply.

For Gabriel Marx, the news is chillingly familiar. A Marine Corps veteran turned California vintner, Gabriel once worked on a covert CIA program designed to use insect vectors to cripple the Taliban's heroin trade. Now, his worst fears are coming true. When black SUVs arrive at his vineyard carrying the Secretary of Homeland Security, Gabriel is pulled back into a world he thought he'd left behind-one where rogue scientists, ISIS operatives, and Chechen terrorists have weaponized nature itself.

As he races to stop an even more catastrophic attack, Gabriel must confront a terrifying truth: the greatest threat to humanity may not be nuclear war or cyberterrorism, but the very forces of nature turned against us.

For fans of Michael Crichton and Daniel Silva, The Bug Hunter is a gripping thriller that will keep you on edge until the very last page.

Publisher's Weekly calls THE BUG HUNTER a "Tense thriller that doesn't pull any punches!"
