Plague-Busters!

by Lindsey Fitzharris

First published 2023

In the heart of a bustling city, a mysterious illness begins to spread, leaving a trail of victims in its wake. As the outbreak spirals out of control, a team of brilliant scientists, led by the brilliant but unorthodox Dr. Amelia Sinclair, is assembled to find the cause and develop a cure before the plague decimates the population. Facing a relentless ticking clock, the team must navigate a web of political intrigue, personal rivalries, and their own doubts to uncover the truth behind the outbreak. With time running out and lives hanging in the balance, they must put aside their differences and work together to stop the plague before it's too late. In this race against time, the stakes couldn't be higher, and failure is not an option.
