The Eyes of Darkness Dean Knootz


El rápido avance de la epidemia del Coronavirus COVID-19 tiene en alerta máxima a los gobiernos del mundo, sobre todo después de las declaratorias emitidas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).
Los miles de contagios y muertes causadas por el virus surgido en la ciudad china de Wuhan también han generado histeria colectiva y la difusión de algunas teorías por parte de usuarios de redes sociales.
Sin embargo, en esta ocasión los cibernautas descubrieron no una teoría, sino una novela escrita en los años 80 que en su narrativa habría predicho la enfermedad.
The coronavirus disease 2019 discovered within humans in WuhanChina in 2019 drew parallels to the novel's 'Wuhan-400' bioweapon[3][4] inspiring both curiosity and conspiracy theories.
Accordingly, the bioweapon’s name in the first edition of the novel was named '”Gorki-400”'. It was later changed in the novel's laboratory as relocated and renamed following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991

Alex's wife tragically died of cancer a few years earlier.

Alex immediately likes Katie so she leaves an old bicycle at home. After a good time together, they fall in love. Lexie immediately accepts Katie, while Josh initially resists, but finally accepts her. Meanwhile, Kevin Tierney, a Boston police officer, searches for Katie and, using her authority as a police officer, sends reports that say she is a wanted killer. Seeing her picture at the police station, Alex confronts Katie and gets angry because she didn't trust him enough to tell her his real name, Erin. Kevin's boss takes away his badge by skipping several rules, noting that he always carries a bottle of water that turns out to be full of vodka, and reveals that Erin was Kevin's wife.

LEE CHILD ABOUT BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE

A man with two broken legs is thrown out of a corporate helicopter from 3,000 feet above the California desert.
Seventeen days after that, Reacher is roaming alone with no objectives, no phone, no address, just the clothes he's wearing and his ATM card, when he sees an anonymous deposit to his bank account. Reacher automatically analyses the amount, using his math obsession and investigative skills. Also obsessed with math, is the sender of $1,030.00, which Reacher recognizes as their old army code, 10–30, for urgent help needed. He meets up with Neagley in California and they discover the death of Calvin Franz, one of nine members of their elite team of ex–army investigators, who are being hunted down one by one. After getting no reply from anyone else, their suspicions rise and Neagley convinces him to put the old unit back together. Reacher and Neagley find that three of the other five members are missing, while Stan Lowery had a fatal car accident years earlier. They conclude Franz called the others for help with a major problem but left out the remaining four that resided too far away to get to him quickly, apart from Reacher, who is famously untraceable.
