“There is an invisible weapon among us. By the time you know you are a victim, it has turned you into a killer.” Repeating the same “ticking clock, geopolitical thriller” formula that worked so brilliantly in her Baillie Gifford Prize-shortlisted, Nuclear War, Jacobsen draws on dozens of new interviews with high-level political, governmental, medical and military experts for this blistering account of what could happen in the hours, days and weeks following the release of a biological agent, whether via a lab accident or a bio-attack. “The most essential, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval,” says Torva.
