Artemis is Goddess of the Hunt, Protector of Children...and a hideous disease that suddenly strikes three continents, causing fever, convulsions, unstoppable bleeding, and 100 percent fatality in hours. A jungle nightmare like Marburg or Ebola, except for two things: Artemis isn't natural, it's an ungodly bioweapon aimed at America. And it kills only women.But Artemis was created by a woman, Nobel Prizewinning Dr. Rachel Lesage, for the one reason that the U.S. government can't understand. To save humanity.Because another global catastrophe is looming, one the superpowers have ignored. Now, with implacable logic, Rachel Lesage is about to stop Armageddon - by unleashing the Apocalypse.
