Invasive: A Novel
by Chuck Wendig
Michael Crichton meets Elon Musk in this gripping sci-fi tech thriller, set in the eye-opening, paranoid world of the electrifying Zeroes.
Hannah Stander is a consultant for the FBI -- a futurist who helps the agency with cases that feature demonstrations of bleeding-edge technology. It's her job to help them identify unforeseen threats: hackers, AIs, genetic modification, anything that in the wrong hands could cause harm.
Hannah is in an airport, waiting to board a flight home to see her family, when she receives a call from Agent Hollis Copper. ''I've got a cabin full of over a thousand dead bodies,'' he tells her. Whether those bodies are all human, he doesnt say.
What Hannah finds is a horrifying murder that points to the impossible -- someone weaponizing the natural world in a most unnatural way. Discovering who -- and why -- will take her on a terrifying chase from the Arizona deserts to the secret island laboratory of a billionaire inventor/philanthropist. Hannah knows there are a million ways the world can end, but she just might be facing one she could never have predicted -- a new threat both ancient and cutting-edge that could wipe humanity off the earth.
