Following the events of The Strain, Lethal Dose continues on from the carnage of the first book. A nation destroyed. An inevitable war. Political powers balanced on a knife's edge. Everything escalates in the second book of the H5S1 trilogy, and now, the stakes are so much higher as Jem and his friends are thrown amongst the chaos. As World War III looms, it's only a matter of time before harsh decisions are made, where the first casualty is inevitably, the truth. Now, as the remaining officials from the Board of Australian Government Directors plan their next move with their American allies, Qrow becomes a pawn in an apparently bigger picture, leaving everyone with one powerful question in mind: Does the end, really justify the means? In book two of the H5S1 trilogy, alliances are tested while the flames of the Cold War begin to rekindle. Will there be a resolution? Or will the use of the biologically advanced H5S1 condemn the world to destruction? Find out in the second book of the H5S1 trilogy, Lethal Dose.

Jeremy Dixon had it all. A quaint countryside home, countless hours of endless fun, friends that he thought of as family, and a very likeable personality. But as he grew older and the time for him to go to university lurked, a harsh reality began to hit him; his entire life was about to be thrown on its head and everything he was so accustomed to, was about to change...in more ways than he'd ever expected. With only a week before his estranged mother's arrival to take him to Sydney, two factory meltdowns in Sydney and Adelaide hit the local news, causing concern after the outbreak of a revolutionary biological nanotechnology, known as H5S1. As the radioactive nerve agent spreads towards Crystal Brook and the rest of the country, harsh truths are learnt, and the world which Jem thought he knew so well begins to crash before his very eyes, leaving him, and everyone else, in search of answers. So join in on this epic journey of love, hate, war and sacrifice, and indulge in the twists and turns that await in the first book of the H5S1 trilogy, The Strain.
