Part of GhostWalker, book 15
First published 2019
Dr. Draden Freeman leads his GhostWalker team deep into the Indonesian jungle to extract wounded operatives before a lethal virus spreads. A terrorist cell has unleashed the pathogen, and time runs short. When Draden becomes infected, he orders his team to abandon him. He refuses to endanger others. His new mission becomes hunting down the terrorists responsible before the virus kills him. Shylah Cosmos tracks the same virus from the shadows. Her enhanced abilities reveal that the man systematically eliminating terrorists is also a GhostWalker. His deadly skills impress her. When enemy fire wounds him, she breaks cover to save his life. Her intervention exposes her to the virus too. Now both Draden and Shylah carry the infection. They race against their own mortality to find a cure while pursuing the terrorists. Each discovers in the other their ideal partner just as death approaches. The virus attacks their bodies, but their connection makes them feel more alive than ever before.
