  • "When a virus that has slept in our DNA for millions of years wakes up, will the human race survive?"@en
  • ""Virus hunter" Christopher Dicken is a man on a mission, following a trail of rumors, government cover-ups, and dead bodies around the globe in search of a mysterious disease that strikes only pregnant women and invariably results in miscarriage. But when Dicken finds what he's looking for, the answer proves to be stranger'and far deadlier'than he ever could have imagined. Something that has slept in human DNA for millions of years is waking up. Molecular biologist Kaye Lang has spent her career tracing ancient retroviruses in the human genome. She believes these microscopic fossils can come to life again. But when Dicken's discovery becomes public, Lang's theory suddenly turns to chilling fact. As the outbreak of this terrifying disease threatens to become a deadly epidemic, Dicken and Lang must race against time to assemble the pieces of a puzzle only they are equipped to solve'an evolutionary puzzle that will determine the future of the human race ... if a future exists at all."
  • "In uns schlummert der Tod In unserem Erbgut schlafen tödliche Krankheiten, die nur darauf warten, wieder zum Leben zu erwachen - so die umstrittene Theorie der Molekularbiologin Kaye Lang. Als in Georgien ein Massengrab gefunden wird, in dem nur schwangere Frauen liegen, in den Alpen eine mumifizierte prähistorische Familie mit verwirrenden biologischen Merkmalen entdeckt wird und in den USA eine rätselhafte Seuche ausbricht, die nur werdende Mütter befällt, scheint sich ihre These zu bewahrheiten ... Greg Bear wurde 1951 in San Diego geboren und studierte dort englische Literatur. Seit 1975 als freier Schriftsteller tätig, gilt er heute als einer der ideenreichsten wissenschaftlich orientierten Autoren der Gegenwart. Etliche seiner Romane wurden zu internationalen Bestsellern."
  • "A retrovirus is discovered which provokes miscarriages in women, followed by a second pregnancy without sexual intercourse. As scientists race to unlock its mysteries, fears grow it may herald the end of the human race as we know it."@en
