Atlanta Ground Zero

When CDC virologist Dr. Adam Cross returns from a mission in the Congo, he carries more than exhaustion from the long flight home. Unaware that he has been exposed to a deadly and unknown pathogen, he moves through Atlanta — taking a cab, riding the elevator, breathing shared air with thousands of strangers.

Within 72 hours, the city begins to fall.

As cases multiply across Atlanta's hospitals and the CDC races to contain a virus unlike anything seen before, Adam faces an impossible truth: he is both the cause of the outbreak and the only hope of stopping it. Something in his blood is fighting the pathogen in ways science has never seen — and if Patel can isolate it in time, it might save thousands of lives.

But time is running out.

Atlanta Ground Zero is a fast-paced medical thriller about one man's mistake, one city's resilience, and the race to find a cure before everything collapses.
