The Hero Virus

'The Hero Virus' tells the thrilling story of Chris Taylor,
who is hanging on to life by a thread. Recently widowed, his only reason to
carry on is his faithful Labrador, but even that doesn't stop his willingness
to gamble with death every day. When his companion suffers a violent demise,
Taylor thinks he has nothing left to live for, until he discovers he has
chanced upon a precious gift... he has become very ill.







The illness gives him special powers and, fairly soon, the
authorities are swooping on to the ever-increasing list of cases. The Hero
Virus might be different to other illnesses, but it's no less dangerous. The
effect it has on the world, though, is wildly different to any other virus that
has come before. The unique reaction of the human body to infection means that
everyone wants it. And some will do anything to get it.







How do you stop a pandemic when there are people who will
kill for the virus? How do you stop people getting infected when they're
willing to die for it? How do you stop the infected when they have abilities
nobody has ever seen before?
