Ben Tracey knows he is going to an unstable area when he accompanies his scientist father to a remote village in the African jungle, where his dad is to carry out some work for a big mining company. But he has no idea that they are about to face a danger they cannot even see: a deadly virus, spawned in an underground lake and released by the opening of the mine. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
