The Rainbow Virus Young Adult Edition - Dennis Meredith - Bog

(The Young Adult Edition of The Rainbow Virus has been edited to eliminate adult language and situations.) The Rainbow Virus is a gripping, realistic bioterrorism tale that launches readers on a harrowing adventure with the flips and plunges of the wildest roller coaster. At first, loner scientist Arthur Lupo seems the most eccentric bioterrorist of all time. After vanishing from his lab at a biotech company, he releases viruses that only turn their victims a palette of colors. But then his chief pursuers-disgraced FBI agent Bobby Loudon and obsessive CDC epidemic-tracker Kathleen Shinohara-discover a horrifying fact. The brilliant Lupo has stolen the world's most lethal viruses from the Army's bioterrorism center. Lupo reveals that his first viruses were only a test. He dramatically proves their infectivity by transforming the terrified citizens of Denver into a rainbow of colors. In a chilling declaration, he announces that he will now release an unstoppable artificial virus whose spread will decimate the world's population. Loudon and Shinohara must race against time, a mysterious assassin, and a secret government faction to find Lupo and stop him. Author and veteran science writer Dennis Meredith has crafted this riveting tale drawing on his decades of experience working at leading research universities such as Caltech, MIT, Cornell, and Duke.
