The Laptev Virus is like a medical detective novel. LA screen writer Steven Ramirez called The Laptev Virus â€œA worthy successor to the Andromeda Strain.â€ If you like Michael Crichton, Robin Cook or movies like Outbreak, this hard sci-fi novel is for you. The Laptev Virus begins as an oil company, drilling in the Arctic, accidentally discovers a megavirus, frozen in the permafrost. It is 30,000 years old. And it is a human pathogen. Just how would a team of scientists go about studying it? And what if the mice models they were using inadvertently became contaminated, leading the researchers to dubious conclusions? Now, imagine if the CEO of the oil company sponsoring the research put pressure on the lab to issue a certification that the coast was clear and they could return to drillingâ€”but it turns out that he is dead wrong?
