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.

L.O.V.E.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)Complete

Now on the run - haunted by guilt and hunted by those in search of a cure that hides in his blood, Ash finds shelter with a rather tough group of survivors. There he meets Rhys Grant - the handsome, strong, sharp eyed leader whom everyone looked up to. The attraction between them is immediately and undeniably, but so is the danger. When misunderstanding happens, an unconscious use of power causes fragments of memories of a shared past start to surface. Trust freys, desires burn and allies turn to enemies as they are drawn to each other but lack trust in one another. Will they figure out their differences or will the misunderstandings consume them? Can Ash escape the destiny of his past life and escape capture from the mad scientists who see his only value in being the cure?

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
