If you breathe . . . It will find you.
The list of 10,000 names was created for maximum devastation. Business leaders, housewives, politicians, celebrities, janitors, children. None of them is aware of what is about to happen–but all will be part of the most frightening brand of warfare the world has ever known.
The germ–an advanced form of the Ebola virus–has been genetically engineered to infect only those people whose DNA matches the codes embedded within it. Those whose DNA is not a match simply catch a cold. But those who are a match experience a far worse fate. Within days, their internal organs liquify.
Death is the only escape.
The release of the virus will usher in a new era of power where countries are left without defense. Where a single person–or millions–could be killed with perfect accuracy and zero collateral damage. Where your own DNA works against you.
The time isn’t coming. It is now. Pray the assassins get you first.

Summary
From: Isaac
Book Title: Germ
Book Author: Robert Liparulo
What do you like about this book:
Immensely entertaining. With a story that automatically puts readers at the each of their seats with the first couple of pages, Liparulo learns quickly with his second novel, Germ. This was the first novel of his I've read, and it will not be the last.
Sexual Content: After an operation, Julia walks into a room to see a surgeon changing out of his bloody clothes. She turns away, uncomfortably. He makes a sly remark about "pretty women catching him with his pants down".
Violence: Blood soaks every bit of this 570-page novel. The virus does horrible things to its victims; but that's not the half of it. New weapons manage to blow the skin off of every person it aims at. Literally. The antagonist's weapon of choice is a gauntlet with razor sharp blades at its tips, peeling apart every one of its victims. People are shot, stabbed, and wounded in every way imaginable.
Language: None.
Drug/Alcohol: None that I can remember.
