Free Audio Book : Toxic Prey, By John Sandford

Gaia is dying.

That, at least, is the conviction of Dr. Lionel Scott. A distinguished authority in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has seen the catastrophic effects of sickness and chaos on a critical scale. The current state of society is unsustainable, and it’s directly linked to Earth’s downward spiral; population numbers are spiraling out of control and people have let chaos and disorder become the norm. While the majority are worried about lethal diseases, Scott understands that it is indeed mankind itself that will annihilate Gaia. Only by eliminating the threat can the planet continue to thrive, and fortunately, Scott is the perfect man for the task…

When Scott subsequently vanishes without a trace, Letty Davenport is assigned the job of following all possible leads. Scott’s ties to sensitive research into the spread of viruses and pathogens have numerous national and international organizations on high alert, and his astonishingly high security clearances at various institutions, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, make him the last person they want to disappear. As the web around Scott becomes more complex, Letty enlists her father, Lucas, to help her lead a team of experts to locate Scott as soon as possible. But as Letty and Lucas start to reveal shocking and unsettling links between Scott and Gaia conspiracists, their worst fears are realized, and it rapidly becomes a race against time to find him before the virus he created turns into the ultimate weapon.
