This is much worse. It's invisible. It works quickly. And it's coming… The scourge has already infected and killed half the population in China and it is heading towards the UK. There is no time to escape. The British government sees no way out other than to distribute 'Dignity Pills' to its citizens: One last night with family or loved ones before going to sleep forever … together. Because the contagion will kill you and the horrifying news footage shows that it will be better to go quietly. Dr Haruto Ikeda, a Japanese scientist working at a Chinese research facility, wants to save the world. He has discovered a way to mutate a virus. Instead of making people sick, instead of causing death, it's going to make them... nice. Instead of attacking the lungs, it will work into the brain and increase the host's ability to feel and show compassion. It will make people kind. Ikeda's quest is thoughtful and noble, and it just might work. Maybe humanity can be saved. Maybe it doesn't have to be the end. But kindness may also be the biggest killer of all… _______ `One of the best things I've ever read … incredibly moving and hugely entertaining´ Chris McDonald `It's the author's black humour and thought-provoking observations on human nature and our society that … take over your brain to the extent that you'll be thinking about it for weeks after´ CultureFly `When Carver switches into full sci-fi, everything that comes before is injected with even deeper and darker themes, adding new layers that make the unpacking of the novel's final conclusion all the more satisfying´ SciFi Now `His best yet.

Sam Walker gambles and drinks, and can`t keep his hands to himself. Now he`s tied up in a shoe closet with a dent in his head that matches Danielle`s broken ashtray. The man in 731 has been dead for two days and his dog has not stopped barking. Two doors down, the couple who always smokes on the window ledge will mysteriously fall. Upstairs, in the penthouse, Mr Balliol sees it all. He can peer into every crevice of every floor of the hotel from his screen-filled suite. He witnesses humanity and inhumanity in all its forms: loneliness, passion and desperation in equal measure. All the ingredients he needs to make a deal. When Danielle returns home one night to find Sam gone, a series of sinister events begins to unfold.
