“Carmen kicked at the dirt. She couldn't equate finding the virus at home with good luck. It was powerful, this thing, ruthless, a perfectly honed survivor for who knew how many millennia. Perhaps it was old as life itself, a malevolent offshoot of the first sampling of creation. Yet Leigh and Daintith thought they could track it to its lair and swat it like some bothersome insect.”

“Wait a minute George. You don't mean you broke in?"
"No, not exactly. Well . . . is this line secure?"
"Absolutely."
"Then yes.”

“The carriers of the altered genes must have come into contact with an antigen that triggered the production of a virus, until that moment dormant in their DNA. Even now, now that she had all the pieces, Carmen could still hardly believe it. It was too terrible, too cruel. It made no difference to the children's suffering〰they would have succumbed immediately, passing the virus on to the others before they died. Holly was the one who was going to suffer. She would see it as her fault: the direct consequence of her desire for healthy offspring. All that terrible suffering, all that black putrification and agony, flowing from her loins.”

Polls

February 2016The book for February will be from our 2015 Holiday Book Swap! There will be more books than the typical poll for this one.
Due to the abnormally long length of time between meetings... and since there is no discussion on which books will be added for this poll, it will run immediately. I will announce the winner on Sunday 1/10/15 after the poll ends.
This poll will be open for voting from Monday 12/21/15 thru Saturday 1/9/15.

Trouble in Spades
