Disposable

One pursues profit. Another pursues something far darker. Both are about to unleash a pandemic- and not everyone wants it contained. When his father dies, Harry Schuller is thrust into a senior role at Schuller Enterprises Pharmaceuticals-a position he is wildly unprepared for. Dismissed as lazy and incompetent, he stumbles onto irregular payments to a shadowy contractor, JAE Consulting, and a remote research site in Texas run by the brilliant and secretive Professor Juliette Armand. A chance encounter with Dr. Anika Patel, a rising CDC scientist who clawed her way out of the slums of New Delhi, pulls Harry into an investigation that reaches far beyond corporate misconduct. Meanwhile, Maria Sanchez, a Mexican border crosser, wakes in a locked cell surrounded by the dying. Her guards wear hazmat suits. As Harry and Anika race to uncover the truth-and Maria fights to survive-their paths converge on a conspiracy that spans continents and ideologies. What they uncover will shatter their understanding of humanity and the cost of survival. In a world where lives are disposable, the line between righteousness and catastrophe grows razor-thin.
