Upon A Pale Horse (Bio-Thriller)

A controversial, frightening bio-thriller that blurs the line between truth and fiction, Upon A Pale Horse raises disturbing questions about the man-made origin of nightmare epidemics, and posits a conspiracy so plausible that it will linger long after the novel's shocking conclusion. When young attorney Jeffrey Rutherford's brother is killed in a plane crash minutes after takeoff from JFK, his life is turned upside down - especially when he discovers that his brother's career wasn't what it seemed. Jeffrey's staid existence is upended as he races to unravel a Gordian knot of deceit and betrayal, and ultimately must battle an unstoppable adversary bent on systematic global genocide. + + + Q&A with Russell Blake Q: Why a bio-thriller?

I think it will be a welcome surprise for my readership. Q: You've expressed trepidation over releasing it, though. RB: Sure. It's scary as hell, and a significant margin is going to hate it because of the inevitable implications it raises, especially in light of the current ebola epidemic and the numerous "mis-handlings" and lack of any sensible precautions by our supposed protectors. Some people just don't want to believe there might be something bad out there, or that their government, or people connected to it or possessing power, could behave like the villains we justifiably demonize. Those people will hate this book. Because it won't be about the story or the data, it will be about their ideology being threatened with serious scrutiny an
