Sobre IBD

Danny Ross is the brightest rising star in EarthWatch, the 'eyes in the sky' organization expediting relief efforts in large-scale disasters. Tragically orphaned in childhood, Danny has become a disaster junkie. His expansive knowledge on the subject uncovers a disturbing pattern in mortality rates from major catastrophes worldwide. Whenever deaths from natural causes wane,human-spawned disasters crop up to cover the shortfall. And the death toll rises in step with global population. In effect, someone is orchestrating a human cull. Danny’s alarming discovery puts him in the crosshairs of a rich and powerful covert society, the Philosopher Kings. Meanwhile, the FBI wants him for two murders he didn’t commit. In a desperate race to learn the truth and clear his name, he stumbles onto the next scheduled disaster. Question is, will he be able to stop it?
