Publisher's Synopsis
Epidemic!
An ancient virus has surfaced on Long Island, NY, turning its victims into black-veined, infectious, psychopathic killers. Chaos and madness rule.
In desperation, the military quarantines the island, trapping Melanie Bailey and her autistic son, Aiden. Somehow Aiden survives infection. He could be the key to a cure...if Melanie can get him to the mainland.
Gang leader Jimmy Wade also survives the virus, but he's acquired a hunger for human flesh. Believing consuming Aiden will make him all-powerful, he and his gang hunt the boy. Melanie and Aiden must evade both Wade's tightening grip and the growing army of the infected in an impossible escape from what all call Q Island.
