Story
A mutating plague is spreading. It's killing two of every three people on Earth. And Mike Crenshaw is totally unprepared. From the world of The Traveler Series comes a new cast of characters, new obstacles, and the same devastating, world-altering virus which plunges society into the depth of a dystopian hell. Unprepared begins in the hours before The Scourge takes hold. As if ripped from today's headlines, governments react too slowly and the disease spreads too fast. Quarantines don't work. Infrastructure fails. People die.

When the end of the world arrived, it came not with a bang, as most expected, but with more of a "pfft" instead. Humanity has been torn asunder and brought to the edge of total annihilation in less than an hour. For those who died, it was a quick death, so fast that their brains didn't have time to process the pain signals from their nerves. For those who survived, the true horror is about to begin as they struggle to not only stay alive, but come to grips with the shocking realization about what - and who - was responsible.

Summary
The world is grappling with an issue of enormous scale and human impact. In the arms race with deadly pathogens, there can be no final peace. The only question is whether we fight well or poorly. Defeat means massive disruptions to our daily lives, huge losses economically, and death.
From the imaginative mind of international best-selling author, Bobby Akart, comes a series ripped from today's headlines. Meet the Virus Hunters, the disease detectives on the front line of a never-ending battle to save humanity from viruses one-billionth our size.
Mr. Akart has delivered up-all-night thrillers in his 40-plus novels. His new Virus Hunters novels will give you pause and remind you that we're in a global war for survival against an unseen foe.
With a Bobby Akart novel, "You are there. Feeling what they feel. Anger, joy, love, mourning. You feel it all. Not everyone can write a book like this. It takes a special writer to make you feel a book."
Finally, this series is dedicated to the Virus Hunters - the disease detectives, shoe-leather epidemiologists of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service who work tirelessly to keep these deadly infectious diseases from killing us all. Thank you!

Virus hunters Book 1
Bobby Akart’s book Virus Hunters Has pulled me inside the covers walking side-by-side with the characters. With everything going on in our world and the attitudes of politicians etc. Dr. Harper Randolph and her assistant Dr. Becker are amazing characters. The only problem I have is that I have to wait for the recording a book two. Thank you Mr. Akart For providing behind the scenes information and a thrilling read

The Narrator is terrible...
She sounds like she's reading a book report in front of a high school class. She gets an A for monotone. I've purchased almost every book Bobby Akart has written. I now have over 625 audiobooks from Audible. I am returning this one.
