Finally Leonard Carpenter’s "long-awaited unpublished bestseller" FATAL STRAIN is a downloadable ebook, ready to read or print on any PC or Mac computer. This 21st century classic novel, a medical/ mystery/ romance e-thriller, confronts our near-future history and the fate of the Earth.

In 2037, a virus threatens human life. Physicians fighting the Blackpox find that they are the front-line targets and carriers of the epidemic, a high-tech “designer plague.” Worse, its mysterious creator may be one of their own medical team, a fanatical "biohacker" obsessed with saving the earth by destroying it.

For Web journalists Will and Eva Warner, the epidemic goes from just a feature story to a deeply personal ordeal. Steadily they are drawn into the schemes of a ruthless genius who manipulates their lives in the most intimate ways imaginable.

From the streets and skylanes of future Los Angeles to the jungle city of Benglapur, through teeming third-world slums and the lofty galleries of the largest aircraft ever built, the pursuit races on. At stake is the fate of all humans, one AI cyber-doctor, and all of earth’s species, along with the planet we inhabit.


IF YOU CARE about the new century and the deepest concerns of your own life, Fatal Strain is a must-read. Here the ANDROMEDA STRAIN meets the HOT ZONE meets Hannibal Lecter, all in one “unputdownable” ebook. This future thriller is a classic!
