Deep in the Kalahari Desert, a Corpus lab protects a dangerous secret…
But what happens when that secret takes on a life of its own?
 
When an educational safari goes wrong, five teens find themselves stranded in the Kalahari Desert without a guide. It’s up to Sarah, the daughter of zoologists, to keep them alive and lead them to safety, calling on survival know-how from years of growing up in remote and exotic locales. Battling dehydration, starvation and the pangs of first love, she does her best to hold it together, even as their circumstances grow increasingly desperate.
 
But soon a terrifying encounter makes Sarah question everything she’s ever known about the natural world. A silver lion, as though made of mercury, makes a vicious, unprovoked attack on the group. After a narrow escape, they uncover the chilling truth behind the lion’s silver sheen: a highly contagious and deadly virus that threatens to ravage the entire area—and eliminate life as they know it.
 
In this breathtaking new novel by the acclaimed author of Origin and Vitro, Sarah and the others must not only outrun the virus, but its creators, who will stop at nothing to wipe every trace of it.

I really want to be a zoologist when I grow up! This book looks like it would fit me.

This book looks very intriging and suspenseful and I would love too read it! Plus I love books that have plots that put yoou on the edge of your seat.

This book's genre is realistic fiction and talks about a sliver virus that has spread across Kalahari. It is so interesting because the main character, Sarah has to find a cure to this deadly virus. Also, she has to solve a four month mystery while at the same time trying to escape from poachers. I truly recommend this book because a lot of action and drama takes place.
