Erin Neal has been living a secluded life in the Arizona desert since the death of his girlfriend and he isnt happy when an oil company executive comes calling. A number of important Saudi wells have stopped producing and Erin is the worlds foremost expert in resolving just these kinds of complications. As far as hes concerned, though, hes left that world behind. Not his problem. Homeland Security sees things differently. Erin quickly finds himself stuck in the Saudi desert, studying a new bacteria with a voracious appetite for oil and an uncanny talent for destroying drilling equipment. But worst of all is its ability to spread. It soon becomes clear that if this contagion isnt stopped, it will infiltrate the worlds petroleum reserves, cutting the industrial world off from the energy that provides the heat, food, and transportation necessary for survival. Erin realizes that theres something eerily familiar about this bacteria. And that it couldnt possibly have evolved on its own.
