BOOK BLURB:
2048: the city of Adelaide ~ the capital of South Australia ~ has grown, developed, changed. The population has doubled, and the city’s livelihood is high technology. A new university has grown up since the Twenties ~ Franklin University, in the hills above the city. It’s the home to Doctor Robert Strachan’s Paranormal Studies department, where Lee Ronson and Brendan Scott head the data analysis team.

They’re the best in a difficult business, and they’ll be tested to their limits in an assignment handed to Strachan by Metro’s most senior criminologist, DCS Maggie Jarmin.

It’s winter when the city suffers a series of bizarre murders, robberies at high-tech labs ~ and a virus which sprang from nowhere. Every two days, a fresh body is discovered ... entirely drained of blood. Every two days, a weapons research or energy technologies facility is robbed of a seemingly bizarre list of oddments. Meanwhile, the virus known only by a codename ~ 2048-3a ~ is so new, no part of the community is immune and the city is crippled.

Murders, robberies and virus are intimately connected in a mystery that will astonish. Lee Ronson and Brendan Scott find themselves taking point in an investigation filled with unexpected hazard ~ and equally unforeseen reward.

BOOK REVIEW:
Set in the future, the world has undergone many changes, some good and some not. Wars, as always, are common as is deep space travel, crime and paranormal studies, all of which play some part in this story. As Ground Zero begins, we are introduced to two of the main characters Lee and Brendan. This long time couple, along with their boss, work in conjunction with the police solving crimes that are above the norm.

When strange thefts and murders come to light these boys are called in to help. Unfortunately for everyone involved, things do not go smoothly. As the story evolves the author takes the reader on a journey they won't soon forget. Full of action, Ground Zero is intense and hard to put down. This is one book that you could easily see made into a hit movie. If you love sci-fi, action and adventure with a little romance thrown in then Ground Zero by Mel Keegan is an excellent story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
