Viral
“An unnerving portrayal of a collapsing society. There is no staying safe in Andrew Peacock’s Viral.” -- Glenn Deir, CBC host and the author of The Money Shot and Sick Joke
“This novel presents a vivid and timely prophecy of a pandemic worse even than Covid -19. The novel explores the fragility of our society in an intensive, fearsome way and yet leaves us deeply relieved that our current pandemic is not so bad after all. This book is a must-read; painful in its forceful depiction of society, yet somehow leaving us feeling better because it depicts a scenario even worse than that which we are facing in 2020.” -- William Pryse-Phillips, MD FRCP FRCPC DPM Emeritus professor of medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland
“Few people can pull together the elements required to create a gripping, terrifying, realistic pandemic. Peacock’s novel Viral is as contagious as the outbreak in his story.” -- Paul Carberry, bestselling author of Zombies on the Rock: Outbreak
