A&E

A&E is a gripping British biological thriller about an engineered outbreak, a buried military experiment, and the people forced to confront a secret that should have died more than forty years ago. When a lethal virus is released inside an English hospital, microbiologist Adam Hensall recognises something no one else can see. The outbreak is not random. It carries the signature of John Tremayne, a brilliant and morally bankrupt scientist whose classified work at Porton Down was supposedly destroyed in 1982. Joining forces with Tremayne’s daughter, Evelyn, Adam follows a trail through forgotten archives, hidden laboratories and a web of stolen research that reaches from London to Moscow and Kinshasa. Somewhere within that history lies the key to stopping the virus. But the answer may not be hidden in a file, a laboratory or a government vault. It may be living in the blood of a man who does not know what he carries. As the world begins to collapse, Adam and Evelyn must find him before those who want the secret for themselves do first. A&E is a tense, intelligent thriller of scientific ambition, institutional secrecy, betrayal and survival — where the fate of humanity rests on the consequences of one experiment that was never meant to be remembered.
