PANDEMIC BEGINNINGS

They attack with impunity, and without prejudice.

Their goal – to destroy you, from within.

A merciless enemy, just one-billionth our size.

“This is one of the most chilling, gripping, and riveting book series I have ever read.”

Terrorists kidnap and blackmail a young French scientist in Western Africa. The outbreak of an ancient disease kills everyone in a village located in a remote jungle of Guatemala. U.S. government operatives uncover a secret biological laboratory in Trinidad. An isolated death at the hands of this killer virus is discovered in Greece.

Dr. Mackenzie Hagan, a well-respected epidemiologist at the CDC-Atlanta, is called to Guatemala. As the daughter of a retired Commanding General of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, Mac often says infectious disease is in her blood. While no infectious disease outbreak is routine, this particular hot zone in Guatemala has its own set of complications. 

Nathan Hunter, a covert operative within an off-the-books project for the Department of Defense, tracks down terrorists before they strike. As Hunter unravels a villainous plot with tentacles spanning the globe, his investigative path crosses with Mac's. 

Mac and Hunter work together to analyze the disease and to identify the source. But they soon learn that the biggest challenge they'll face is right at home – a government bureaucracy unwilling to sound the alarm to protect the nation.

“This book deserves a movie.”

The international bestselling medical thriller series from author Bobby Akart formed the basis for an entire semester's course study at Midwestern University. 

When suggesting the Pandemic series to readers, renowned Hollywood entertainment website, PopSugar, wrote:

"This thriller's twists and turns will remind you of the weekly emotional rollercoaster of our favorite doctor drama."

The events depicted in the Pandemic series are fictional. They are, however, based upon historical fact.
