The Chimera Sequence
Cole McBride makes a chilling discovery while investigating a mysterious disease causing the deaths of endangered mountain gorillas in war-torn central Africa. When a humanitarian aid hospital nearby diagnoses a disturbingly similar human case, the former Special Forces veterinarian knows he must figure out how to stop this outbreak from spreading--before it blows up into a global pandemic. Halfway across the continent, a massive cargo ship moves out of Sudan's largest port. Buried deep within its hold is one container of urgent significance for its buyer in the Persian Gulf. And back in Washington, D.C., the owner of a Lebanese restaurant a stone's throw from the White House finds a cryptic message in the Drafts folder of his e-mail inbox. It's one week before Independence Day, and an unpopular president is preparing to host America's biggest celebration in years. There's just one small problem: he's not the only one with plans for the holiday. With the woman he loves sick and close to death, Cole puts his own life on the line in a race against time to discover the truth behind the outbreak's origin--a truth that will link it to one of humanity's most ancient plagues and threaten the very heart of America. This is how it happened.
Reviews
Garber puts his experience as a veterinarian and military officer to good use in this decent bio-thriller. While on a visit to Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, wildlife vet Cole McBride and his team are eager to check on the status of the three mountain gorilla families living in the preserve. To Cole’s horror, most of the apes are dead, from a mysterious illness that has left their corpses covered with lesions. The deaths become even more frightening when the unknown disease begins to infect humans. Meanwhile, U.S. president David Rogers is hoping that he can avoid the mistakes of George W. Bush in handling a mega-storm, a natural disaster that shifts his focus away from conflict over rare mineral deposits in Africa. In addition, an American Muslim disturbed by U.S. policy in the Middle East finds himself caught up in a terror plot. Coincidence plays a large role, but Garber has a gift for keeping readers guessing what will happen next. (BookLife)
Bob Mayer, Former Green Beret and New York Times bestselling author

"Elliott Garber has delivered a high-stakes thriller that will earn your attention with clean, clear prose and a solid grasp of global geopolitics. The Chimera Sequence is terrifyingly realistic, chock-full of research that rings as true as today's headlines." 

Dr. Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian" and New York Times bestselling author

"Animal lovers rejoice! Not since Jurassic Park has a science thriller of this magnitude been written just for us. While the story is filled with human characters you'll hate to love and love to hate, the real heroes are an appealing supporting cast of mountain gorillas and working dogs. Don't pick up my fellow veterinarian Elliott Garber's book unless you're ready for an adventure!"

James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of the The Sixth Extinction

"Elliott Garber's debut thriller The Chimera Sequence has everything I love in a novel: great characters, a thrill ride of an adventure, and a looming global menace. But best of all, the story hooked me from the first intriguing page to the last illuminating line. I can't wait to see what this guy writes next!"

Maria Goodavage, New York Times bestselling author of Top Dog and Soldier Dogs

"I couldn't put down Garber's engaging, rapid-paced, action-packed thriller. His riveting first novel benefits greatly from his experience as an Army veterinarian who has worked with a variety of unlikely animals around the world. The book even features important appearances from a military dog, a Secret Service dog, and a tracker bloodhound. What's not to love?"
