I want to thank my agent, Henry Morrison, whose level guidance and wisdom I’ve come to depend on. I’m grateful to Dr. Marc Romney for generously sharing his vast knowledge of microbiology. And a very special thanks goes to the wonderful and tireless Kit Schindell. As my first reader, her insight and feedback always improve my stories.

I am so fortunate to have Tor/Forge for a publisher. From Tom Doherty’s considered involvement onward, Tor is run like a caring family. I want to thank Linda Quinton, Tom Espenchied, Seth Lerner, David Moench, Paul Stevens and copyeditor John Morrone. And of course, I have to single out my amazing editor, Natalia Aponte. Putting aside her substantial creative contributions, she is the best advocate and friend an author could hope for inside the publishing world. Thank you, Natalia.

And lastly, I would be nowhere without my family. Tim and Tammy, Tony and Becca, and of course, Mom and Dad, have been there for me since long before my writing endeavors. My two girls, Ashley and Chelsea, believe in their daddy even though they’re not allowed to read his books. (Chelsea might be the best eight-year-old publicist in the world.) My wife Cheryl has managed to smooth out the road to publication, pulling me up from the lows and covering for the rest of my life when I’m immersed in a manuscript. Thanks, Cheryl.

ACCLAIM FOR DANIEL KALLA’S NOVELS

ACCLAIM FOR DANIEL KALLA’S NOVELS

PANDEMIC

“Very much in the Michael Crichton school of cutting-edge scientifically rooted thrillers. Pandemic is an absorbing, compulsive thriller, the sort of book you could stay up too late reading. I’d advise against that, however. With all the bugs going around, you are going to need your immune system functioning at full strength … .”

—The Vancouver Sun

“Pandemic is a totally compelling novel, one of those rare thrillers that lays out a scenario that is not only possible, but terrifyingly probable.”

—Douglas Preston, author of Relic and The Codex

“Kalla’s ripped-from-the-headlines plot and confident command of both language and medicine make this sobering book a pleasure.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Pandemic starts fast and never lets up on the suspense … Kalla juggles the many narrative balls easily, manages to insert a little romance, puts his protagonists in plenty of danger and drives his complex plot to a rousing climax.”

—The Edmonton Journal

“Daniel Kalla expertly weaves real science and medicine into a fast-paced, nightmarish thriller—a thriller all the more frightening because it could really happen.”

—Tess Gerritsen, author of Body Double on Pandemic

RAGE THERAPY

“Rage Therapy is a taut psychological thriller that will pull you into a world of sexual deviancy, murder, and mind games. A very good read.”

—Nelson DeMille, New York Times bestselling author
