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.
