Gene Bryant Locust Event

Annotation

How the Chinese government brutally deals with a democratic uprising rapidly escalates and within weeks brings mankind towards the edge of extinction in The Locust Event. Dr. Jaime Jones, an executive at Cleanetics Biomedical Research and her former Harvard classmate and good friend, distinguished virologist Dr. Shing Shen, battle for not only their lives but those of every human on the planet as they seek answers to this seemingly unstoppable threat. From the concrete jungles of southern California to an ancient Shao Lin monastery in northern China and from the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest ultimately to the warmth and lushness of Hawaii, the fate of humankind is revealed. Both the richness and the depravity of the human spirit are exposed as our species engages in the ultimate fight, the fight to survive.
