The chimera sequence / by Garber, Elliott,author.(CARDINAL)626028;
Cole McBride makes a chilling discovery while investigating a mysterious disease causing the deaths of endangered mountain gorillas in war-torn central Africa. When a humanitarian aid hospital nearby diagnoses a disturbingly similar human case, the former Special Forces veterinarian knows he must figure out how to stop this outbreak from spreading--before it blows up into a global pandemic. Halfway across the continent, a massive cargo ship moves out of Sudan's largest port. Buried deep within its hold is one container of urgent significance for its buyer in the Persian Gulf. And back in Washington, D.C., the owner of a Lebanese restaurant a stone's throw from the White House finds a cryptic message in the Drafts folder of his e-mail inbox. It's one week before Independence Day, and an unpopular president is preparing to host America's biggest celebration in years. There's just one small problem: he's not the only one with plans for the holiday. With the woman he loves sick and close to death, Cole puts his own life on the line in a race against time to discover the truth behind the outbreak's origin--a truth that will link it to one of humanity's most ancient plagues and threaten the very heart of America.

Bajo cero / by Koepp, David,author.(CARDINAL)374423; HarperCollins (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)361253;
"Hace treinta y dos años, Roberto Díaz, que forma parte de un equipo élite y secreto del Pentágono, viajó al desierto australiano para investigar un posible ataque bioquímico. Lo que encontró fue mucho peor: un organismo altamente mutante, similar a una planta, capaz de causar epidemias destructivas. Se las arregló para contenerlo, enterrándolo en una cámara de almacenamiento en el fondo de una instalación gubernamental fuertemente armada. Sin embargo, esa instalación del gobierno se cerró y se vendida a una compañía que renta espacios para almacenamiento. Al no tener supervisión, el organismo encuentra su salida y está mutando más rápido que nunca. A Diaz se le pide volver de su retiro para ayudar a dos inusuales guardias de seguridad: uno es un exconvicto, la otra una madre soltera, ambos se esfuerzan por preservas sus vidas. Díaz sabe demasiado bien lo que está en juego; los otros dos están aprendiendo sobre la marcha, enfrentando los efectos de esta catástrofe mientras pasan por ella. El objetivo sigue siendo simple: poner en cuarentena este horror una vez más y salvar a toda la humanidad. Cold Storage es un libro de suspenso, único y placentero, con una acción que se mueve rápidamente, un agudo sentido del humor y una brillante exhibición de historias." -- publisher websiteWhen Pentagon bio-terror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository... Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. Only Diaz knows how to stop it.
