Publisher's Summary
A deadly outbreak in Kenya. A conspiracy beyond imagination. And a race to save humanity in its darkest hour.
From A. G. Riddle, the worldwide best-selling author of The Atlantis Gene and Departure, comes a novel that will change everything you think you know about pandemics.
A hundred miles north of Alaska, an American Coast Guard vessel discovers a sunken submarine at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. It has no national identification and doesn't match the records of any known vessel. Deep within, researchers find evidence of a scientific experiment that will alter our very understanding of the human race.
In Atlanta, Dr. Peyton Shaw is awakened by the phone call she has dreaded for years. As the CDC's leading epidemiologist, she's among the first responders to outbreaks around the world. It's a lonely and dangerous job, but it's her life - and she's good at it. This time she may have met her match. In Kenya, an Ebola-like pathogen has infected two Americans. One lies at death's door. With the clock ticking, Peyton assembles her team and joins personnel from the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the WHO. What they find in the remote village is beyond their worst fears. As she traces the origin of the pathogen, Peyton begins to believe that there is more to this outbreak - that it may be merely the opening act in a conspiracy with far-reaching consequences.
In Berlin, Desmond Hughes awakens in a hotel room with no memory of how he got there or who he is. On the floor he finds a dead security guard from an international pharmaceutical company. His only clue leads him to Peyton Shaw - a woman who seems to know him but refuses to tell him how. With the police searching the city for him, Desmond desperately tries to piece together what happened to him. To his shock and horror, he learns that he may be involved in causing the outbreak - and could hold the only key to stopping it.
As the pathogen spreads around the world, Peyton and Desmond race to unravel the conspiracy behind the pandemic - and uncover secrets some want to keep buried.

Great story! Not so such a great performance
Amazingly detailed, scientific and futuristic as usual from A.G Riddle.
Another original and amazing plot.
The only thing that kinda got me was the performance.
Some of the characters are Australian.
I can appreciate the American narrator trying to get into the characters, but him putting on the accent was sooooo cringeworthy and horrible.
I almost couldn't do it for a while in the beginning.

Looking forward to next audiobook
Intense but enthralling story, South African accent used as an Aussie accent is annoying though.

good story, horrendous Australian accent
imagine a new Zealand accent mixed with a drunk angry constipated south African, and that is their idea of the Aussie accent. I am not usually bothered by bad accents, but this was incredibly bad. The rest of the performance was great, but there were way too many Aussies. I recommend you get the Kindle and read it rather than subject yourself to this accent.
In his defence, the Aussie accent is difficult, but seriously, get an Aussie to verify it before you subject the world to it.

Excellent page turner
The author is adept in depicting human nature and interaction while taking us through some significant science and multiple dramas (including flashbacks to the past).
My main gripe is the shocking 'Australian'. Sounds South African/a bit British Cockney at best!

Love this book soooo much.
I'm loving this so much and so excited for the next one! I'm so excited that the book ends setting up for a next book and so excited to listen to it. This is one of my favorite books I've bought.

Thank god it's over!
As discussed multiple times, the accents were terrible. By the end I was more annoyed at the male narrators performance of female characters.
As for the story, the plot was ok and I got to the point where I had invested so much time I wanted to see how it ended. Having finally reaching the end, I wished I cut my losses earlier. The author is a waffler, he just kept going and going and even when the main plot point resolved the chapters still kept coming. The plot also lost it's way. Sometimes less is more!

Simply Brilliant!!
If you could sum up Pandemic in three words, what would they be?
Captivating, Inventive, scary!
Who was your favorite character and why?
there's no bad character!
What aspect of Edoardo Ballerini’s performance might you have changed?
His Australian accent is the worst I've ever heard. Next time Amazon should spring for an extra actor. Other wise great!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book had me stunned, with some real twists!
Any additional comments?
Cant wait for book two
