Black Dust: The Second Outbreak (The Otis Thorne Thriller Series Book 5)

Three years ago, Black Dust nearly ended civilization.

The microscopic biting insects swept across continents, killing millions and devastating wildlife before humanity discovered the only defenses that worked: relentless light and fire.
The world survived.
It never found a cure.
Now a family has been found dead inside an isolated cabin in northern Canada. Every light in the house has been smashed. Beneath the beds lies something no one believed they would ever see again.
Black Dust.
Otis Thorne, analyst Noah Pye, and medical researcher Deena are pulled back into the nightmare they thought was over. But the new insects have changed. Artificial light no longer stops them. Sunlight takes longer to kill them. And infected wildlife is already carrying the new strain south.
Intelligence agencies suspect someone has released the biological weapon again.
The truth is far more frightening.
Nobody released it.
It survived.
Buried beneath frozen ground since the first outbreak, dormant eggs have awakened. And while humanity was rebuilding, Black Dust was becoming something new.
As governments race to contain the spreading colonies, Noah discovers evidence that someone knew this could happen.
Someone has been preparing for the second outbreak.
And somewhere inside a private laboratory, the original Black Dust is still alive.

Humanity defeated Black Dust once. Nature learned from the mistake.
