Reseña del editor:
What if bacteria turned all the gasoline in Los Angeles into vinegar? Carmageddon doesn't begin to describe it. Petroplague does. Christina González expected her research to change the world. But not like this. The U.C.L.A. graduate student wanted to use biotechnology to free America from its dependence on Middle Eastern oil. Instead, an act of eco-terrorism unleashes her genetically-modified bacteria into the fuel supply of Los Angeles, turning gasoline into vinegar. With the city paralyzed and slipping toward anarchy, Christina must find a way to rein in the microscopic monster she created. But not everyone wants to cure the petroplague-and some will do whatever it takes to spread it. From the La Brea Tar Pits to university laboratories to the wilds of the Angeles National Forest, Christina and her cousin River struggle against enemies seen and unseen to stop the infection before it's too late. ______ "Amy Rogers is the crisp, haunting new voice of science thrillers. If you think global warming is scary, wait till you read Petroplague." Norb Vonnegut, author of The Gods of Greenwich "Petroplague is a terrific thriller debut and Amy Rogers really knows her science. From a killer premise-scientists create a bacterium that stops the industrial world in its tracks-Petroplague ratchets up the tension and danger with every chapter. The tense, tight plot and interesting characters kept me reading late into the night. . . Amy Rogers is one to watch-I can't wait for her next book." Paul McEuen, author of international bestselling science thriller Spiral "Petroplague has earned a spot in the top five on my best of 2011 list. Amy uses her extensive science background and research connections to create an intense thriller that balances technology with well-defined, likeable, and believable characters." Thrillers Rock Twitter book review "Compellingly written, technically literate. . . an author who knows her way around hydroca
Biografía del autor:
Amy Rogers, M.D., Ph.D., began her writing career in elementary school by (unsuccessfully) submitting anecdotes to Reader's Digest in hopes of earning twenty-five bucks. By junior high her real passion was science, especially microbiology. In the bedroom of her home in rural southern Minnesota, she kept Petri dishes of bacteria in an egg incubator and won purple ribbons in science fairs. That passion led her to study biochemistry at Harvard, and ultimately to earn a doctorate in immunology. Wee beasties animated her years of teaching microbiology at the university level. More recently, micro-critters inspired her to write novels and short stories that highlight their amazing powers. Amy's thrilling science-themed novels pose frightening "what if? " questions. Compelling characters and fictionalized science-not science fiction-make her books page-turners that open the reader's eyes to threats they never imagined before. Relentlessly curious, Dr. Rogers works for scientific literacy and nature education for kids. This author loves dim sum, Ted Drewes, redwood forests, Minnesota lakes, Hawaiian beaches, and cats. She lives in Northern California with her husband and two exceptional children who believe she has an unreasonable tolerance for mysterious things growing in her refrigerator. Amy is a member of International Thriller Writers Debut Class (2011-2012). Learn more at AmyRogers.com. Wondering what to read next? Check out the book reviews at ScienceThrillers.com.
