Beschrijving boek
Bloodstream
The small resort of Tranquility, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr Claire Elliot to shelter her adolescent son, Noah, from the temptations of the big city and the lingering memories of his father’s death. But all her plans unravel when a rash of teenage violence erupts in the local school.
As she tries to find a medical explanation for this murderous epidemic, Claire stumbles upon an insidious evil which has blighted the town’s past and threatens its future. Fearful that Noah, too, is at risk she must race to prove her theory before everything she loves is destroyed.
Gravity
Dr Emma Watson, a brilliant research physician, has been training for the mission of a lifetime: to study living organisms in space. Jack McCallum, Emma’s estranged husband, has shared her dream of space travel, but a medical condition has grounded him. Now he must watch from the sidelines …
The mission aboard the space station turns into a nightmare when a culture of single-celled organisms begins to regenerate out of control. Emma struggles to contain the deadly microorganisms, while back home Jack and NASA work against the clock to bring her home. But there will be no rescue. With the contagion now threatening earth, the astronauts are quarantined in space, where they are dying one by one.
