"I would highly recommend it ... 5 stars" Guardian "If you like Bones, you'll love Virals" James Patterson "Kathy Reichs gets it dead right with sharp writing and a plot that throws a bunch of very real teens into a deadly adult world ... I loved it and I'm sure fans of Alex Rider will love it too" Anthony Horowitz "Mystery ... fantasy ... science ... and heart-stopping action - this book is DANGEROUS.
