Imagine you are a scientist who has created an invention so radical it will force a quantum leap in the medicine and pharmaceutical industry. Overnight it will make 90% of the drugs on the market obsolete.Imagine also that these same monopolising controllers of the medical and drug markets prevent you from bringing your miracle solution to the people. What would you do, especially if you just happened to win a life-changing amount of money on the National Lottery?A lone plane flies over the south-east of London delivering its payload into the clouds. Within a couple of days large numbers of the population are beginning to show signs of disease with no obvious origin or prognosis for cure, although at the same time there are absurd rumours of attacks by butterflies. In no time at all the south-east of London is ablaze with violence and destruction, with more and more people succumbing to the ‘infection’.The story describes how easy it might be, through a naïve yet ultimately altruistic attempt to make the world a better place, to create an apocalyptic event, inadvertently creating the development of zombie-like or crazed people. If the world can survive the problem, will it be able to survive the cure, especially when vast amounts of money and power are at stake? Will we live in a brave new world or descend into a new struggle for power?WARNING: Contains interesting scientific content and is not a book about zombies.
