In the quaint, idyllic town of Oakbridge, an ambitious virologist, Sophia Chen, stands on the brink of a medical revolution. Damien Tiller's " Outbreak" immerses readers in a world where the line between a cure and a curse blurs in the blink of an eye.
Sophia, a prodigious scientist, has dedicated her life to conquering the world's deadliest viruses. Her latest triumph, the "Coldkiller" virus, promises to be a watershed moment in medicine – a definitive cure for the common cold. But beneath the surface of this scientific marvel lies a dark secret, a malevolence unmatched by any known pathogen.
As Sophia grapples with mounting pressure and exhaustion, a single act of kindness, a minor deviation from protocol, becomes the catalyst for an unprecedented catastrophe. The dormant, sinister nature of the Coldkiller virus awakens, setting off a chain of events that could spell doom not only for Oakbridge but for humanity itself.
" Outbreak" is a chilling journey into the heart of a viral apocalypse, where the stakes are nothing less than global survival. Fans of zombie novels will be captivated by Tiller's vivid storytelling, where the terror isn't just in the outbreak but in the all-too-realistic portrayal of a single scientific misstep unleashing a horror beyond imagination. This novel is a must-read for anyone who craves a gripping, thought-provoking tale that fuses cutting-edge science with the raw intensity of a world teetering on the edge of collapse.
Damien Tiller was born in Portsmouth, UK, to working class parents. A chequered childhood with less than perfect parents and absence from schooling, combined with spending his teen years living in a squat in Boscombe should have meant that a career in writing seemed far-fetched. However, Damien found comfort in escapism and used writing to escape his own demons, leading to his first novel, "A Winter's Child", gaining some accolades in 2004. This was followed up with "Dragon's Blight" in 2013 and saw this dyslexic author carry out his first book signing in Blue Town, Kent.
