Death grows insatiable.</i> <p/>Alana Vaughn, an infectious diseases expert with NATO, is urgently summoned to Genoa by an ex-lover to examine a critically ill patient. She's stunned to discover that the illness is a recurrence of the Black Death. Alana soon suspects bioterrorism, but her WHO counterpart, Byron Menke, disagrees. In their desperate hunt to track down Patient Zero, they stumble across an 800-year-old monastery and a medieval journal that might hold the secret to the present-day outbreak.

Kalla knows how to build a suspenseful story that doesn't stretch the bounds of plausibility. He also knows how to build realistic characters and put natural-sounding dialogue into their mouths, something many better-known medical-thriller authors often struggle to do. . . . [a] top-drawer thriller."<br> <b>-- <i>BOOKLIST</i></b><br><br><b>Praise for<i> Pandemic</i></b> <p/> "Very much in the Michael Crichton school of cutting-edge scientifically rooted thrillers. <i>Pandemic</i> is an absorbing, compulsive thriller, the sort of book you could stay up too late reading. I'd advise against that, however. With all the bugs going around, you're going to need your immune system functioning at full strength."<br> <b>-- <i>VANCOUVER SUN</i></b><br><br>"<i>Of Flesh And Blood</i> is great story-telling. Daniel Kalla has written a remarkably compelling novel of vivid, driven characters and the hard choices they are forced to make."<br> <b>-- </b><b>DAVID LISS</b>, bestselling author<br><br>"<i>Pandemic </i>is an absorbing, compulsive thriller, the sort of book you could stay up too late reading."<br> <b>-- <i>VANCOUVER SUN</i></b><br><br>"<i>Pandemic</i> is a sizzler. A killer epidemic that may go global--convincing and terrifying."<br> -- <b>BARBARA D'AMATO</b>, author of<i> Death of A Thousand Cuts</i> and <i>White Male Infant</i><br><br>"<i>Pandemic</i> is a totally compelling novel, one of those rare thrillers that lays out a scenario that is not only possible, but terrifyingly probable."<br> <b>-- DOUGLAS PRESTON</b>, author of <i>Relic </i>and <i>The Codex</i><br><br>"<i>Pandemic</i> is fast, fierce, and frightening. Kalla delivers a shot of adrenaline in a medical thriller that really thrills."<br> <b>-- </b><b>DON WINSLOW</b>, author of <i>California Fire </i>and<i> The Life and Death of Bobby Z</i><br><br>"<i>Pandemic</i> starts fast and never lets up on the suspense . . . Kalla juggles the many narrative balls easily, manages to insert a little romance, puts his protagonists in plenty of danger and drives his complex plot to a rousing climax."<br> <b>-- <i>EDMONTON JOURNAL</i></b><br><br>"<i>Rage Therapy</i> is a compelling story. It's layered and nuanced. Kalla might well grow to be the James Patterson or John Grisham of the medical world." <br> <b>-- </b><b><i>JANUARY MAGAZINE</i></b><br><br>"[Kalla] continues his remarkable side career as the author of knowledgeable, but very scary medical thrillers."<br> <b>-- <i>SEATTLE PI</i></b><br><br>"[Kalla] is back with another gripper."<br> <b>-- </b><b><i>OTTAWA CITIZEN</i></b><br><br>"A fast paced thriller with an historical overlay and a dash of romantic tension."<br> <b>-- <i>VANCOUVER SUN</i></b><br><br>"A great thriller hero never hesitates--despite, or perhaps because of, her checkered past and uncertain future. By that standard, Dr. Alana Vaughn is the woman readers will want on their side when stalked by the most terrible of all plagues in <i>We All Fall Down</i>."<br> <b>-- </b><b>JUSTIN SCOTT</b>, author of <i>The Shipkiller</i>, <i>Rampage</i>, and the Isaac Bell adventure novels with Clive Cussler<br><br>"A superbly written suspense novel, completely believable in its frightening premise and masterful in execution. Kalla inherits the mantle of Michael Crichton, devising a plot in which an ancient pestilence meets a scourge of human egotism and misplaced faith, resulting in the potential for a worldwide cataclysm. Much more than a medical thriller, <i>We All Fall Down</i> is both a vivid history lesson and a heart-pounding warning, resulting in a page-turning obsession."<br> <b>-- STEVEN HARTOV</b>, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Soul of a Thief</i><br><br>"A well-written novel . . . Kalla, an emergency-room physician, employs just enough medical realism to carry a wild tale through one cliff-hanger chapter after another."<br> <b>-- <i>LIBRARY JOURNAL</i></b><br><br>"At last! A new thriller writer worthy to join the Ludlum, DeMille, le Carré club. Not just a great read, a real treat."<br> <b>-- </b><b>BEVERLY SWERLING</b>, author of <i>City of Dreams: A Novel of Nieuw Amsterdam</i> and <i>Early Manhattan</i><br><br>"Daniel Kalla deftly portrays the triumph and heartbreak of life-or-death matters."<br> <b>-- </b><b>SUSAN WIGGS</b>, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author<br><br>"Daniel Kalla expertly weaves real science and medicine into a fast-paced, nightmarish thriller--a thriller all the more frightening because it could really happen."<br> <b>-- TESS GERRITSEN</b>, author of <i>Body Double</i><br><br>"Daniel Kalla plunges us straight into the frenzied pace of the OR and a medical drama that spans a hundred years. He's a strong storyteller who keeps his characters moving and struggling, and we're right there, struggling with them, rooting for them."<br> <b>-- <i>VANCOUVER SUN</i></b><br><br>"Daniel Kalla, a worthy successor of Robin Cook, shows as deft a hand in penning this compelling tale as he no doubt does in the operating room."<br> <b>-- </b><b>EILEEN GOUDGE</b>, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author<br><br>"Daniel Kalla's prescription for a perfect thriller includes snappy characters, a pace that sweeps up a reader and not too much technical jargon . . . the kind of magnetic story you can't put down. And the twist at the end of the book is the flourish that caps a strong story."<br> <b>-- <i>VANCOUVER PROVINCE</i></b><br><br>"Fans of <i>Presumed Innocent</i> will find welcome echoes of that modern classic in <i>Blood Lies</i>. The twists are well done, and Kalla has a gift rare in the thriller field for creating sympathetic characters."<br> <b>-- <i>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY</i>, </b>starred review<br><br>"Fast-paced and smartly written . . . Kalla has quickly matured into a force to be reckoned with. . . . <i>Blood Lies</i> springs several fresh surprises on the reader (including one whopping great shocker)."<br> <b>-- <i>BOOKLIST</i></b><br><br>"Gripping."<br> <b>-- <i>VANCOUVER SUN</i></b><br><br>"His first novel, <i>Pandemic</i>, was as fine a medical thriller as I've ever read; his newest, <i>Rage Therapy</i>, is a taut psychological thriller that will pull you into a world of sexual deviancy, murder, and mind games.
