No one knows how it started. Domestic animals began to go wild, reverting to their primal states and lashing out at their owners. Felicia Owens, CDC scientist in Los Angeles, was attacked out of the blue by her cat. Now, Felicia is fighting bouts of irritability, anger, and outright primal rage. When others begin acting in a similar way, Felicia realizes that she needs to figure out what’s going on and how to cure it before it’s too late. Maybe it already is.

“Is that it?” Sebastian asked in a quiet voice, and Felicia nodded her head. “This is it, this is the cure. We need to get to Noelani’s as soon as possible.”

I’m still up and kicking, but Brian’s so weak that he can’t even get up out of bed. Right now, he needs the cure far more than I do.”

“Noelani, what’s wrong?” Felicia asked in concern. Were they too late?
