Description

The world has been ravaged by a lethal infection, a pathogen that leaves its victims locked halfway between life and death. New York, bombed to prevent the spread of the disease, has been reduced to radioactive rubble.

A rescue squad enters the subway tunnels beneath Manhattan, searching for the one man who can create an antidote.

The squad battles floodwaters, lethal radiation and infected, irradiated survivors as they race against time to eradicate the disease that threatens to extinguish the human race.

Reviews

Praise for Juggernaut:

'...hugely entertaining and as unstoppable as its namesake.' - Financial Times

There's no denying the strength of Baker's prose. It's violent and blokey... but also intelligent. The first 100 pages, especially, are rich with harrowing detail about the last days of Saddam's regime... Juggernaut is a rewarding read. - SFX Magazine

A lock and load adventure of the highest calibre. A tense, absorbing journey and a high speed collision of military action and apocalyptic horror. Blackhawk Down meets Day of the Dead. - Adam Nevill, author of Apartment 16, The Ritual

Adam Baker's style is very reminiscent of a combination of Matthew Reilly and James Patterson, and like both those authors, he uses it to tell a punchy story that keeps you engrossed from start to finish. - Sci-Fi Bulletin

Juggernaut is populated with believable characters, strong dialogue and impeccably researched detail. These characters live, love, fight and betray their way through to the book's explosive finale... If you like zombies and survival horror then this book is for you. If you like to see just what man is capable of doing when his back is against the wall then this book definitely is the one for you. - Starburst
