In the year 2025, survival of the fittest takes on new importance. Hungry for market share and driven by greed, BigPharma companies battle to produce the next blockbuster drug. And they will go to any length to win—and survive.
Dan Tremaine has found the secret to success for Denali Labs. Phil Horton is desperate to save his family firm, Horton Drugs. When they're put in a head-to-head competition to find the cure for a deadly flesh-eating disease, who will win?
And at what cost?
The clock is ticking. The body count is rising.
And someone has created a monster.
**Review
"Lisa von Biela is the queen of the medical thriller and"Blockbuster" is proof that she deserves the title. "Blockbuster" is quite simply a very tight thriller that is immediatelyengaging and ramps up the suspense from the first page to the last.
All in all, "Blockbuster" is another superior thriller froman author that is deserving of much greater recognition than she currentlyreceives. There may be bigger 'names' out there writing medical thrillers butthere is no one better than Lisa von Biela."

"Why We're Excited About This Book: Blockbuster is a medical sci-fi thriller from DarkFuse. It's about the horrors ofan all too plausible future where big pharmacy corporations run amok,releasing diseases to infect people so they can rack up theprofit-margin selling a cure. It will probably come as no surprise toreaders that, when a new MRSA-style super pathogen is released, thingsdon't go entirely to plan...
A different style of story from DarkFuse's normal output, but just as intriguing, Blockbuster is a fast-paced thriller where the horror comes from human greed andcorruption. Playing on very contemporary fears of Ebola, geneticengineering and corporate power, Blockbuster may well leave you unable to sleep at night as effectively as any vampire or ghost story."
--This is Horror (UK)
Lisa von Biela has written a frightening tale of rogue pathogens that can think, and BigPharma at its most chillingly corrupt. This techno thriller...ratchets up the terror factor to its limits. This is a story you'll race through, but the horror of a rampaging and flesh eating MRSA II bacteria will stay with you long after you've finished the last page.
