Scourge
THE END OF THE WORLD
Dr. Samantha Bower witnessed the obliteration of human society. Entire continents decimated by a virus of unknown origins. Only a bleak world of ash and blood remains. One in which the survivors fundamentally change what it means to be human.
Samantha now struggles to make sense of the devastation, and the horrific response of humanity to an extinction level event. Left with little else, she accepts help from a man once sent to kill her. He offers her hope: a small village in the Congolese jungle unaffected by the virus. A place called Shangri-La that he claims to have seen firsthand. A place where the deepest mysteries of man's arrogance over nature will finally be answered for her.
The world a barbaric wasteland, she must place her trust in a man that is fundamentally untrustworthy. With no other options, she goes with him in search for Shangri-La, and will discover a truth she could never have imagined.
Victor Methos
Few writers of legal thrillers have lived the stories they tell as closely as Victor Methos. Born in Kabul and raised in the United States from the age of nine, he grew up with an outsider’s eye, watching, questioning, and writing. By ten, he was already crafting short stories in English, sensing that the written word could carry both truth and danger. That instinct would follow him into adulthood, shaping a career that straddled the courtroom and the page.
Before turning to fiction full time, Methos built his reputation in the legal world. He studied philosophy at the University of Utah, then shifted course to law school, where his fascination with justice became something far sharper. Over the next decade, he tried more than a hundred cases ranging from capital murder to high-stakes civil rights battles. Each trial demanded not just intellect but moral clarity, and many of those experiences left their imprint on his novels.
