Descrizione libro Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustratore). 1st Edition. © 1998: A stand-alone novel by Philip Kerr. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: "And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man" - Revelation 16:3. By the second half of the 21st century mankind is on the verge of extinction. 80% of the population have P2; a Human Parvo virus that will kill them within ten to fifteen years. The only cure is a course of drugs and a complete transfusion of healthy blood. Blood is life, it is worth far more than its weight in gold. The latest World Association of Blood Banks price for one litre of healthy human blood is $1.84 million. The world's blood banks are protected by state of the art security systems. The most secure bank of all is not even on Earth. The First National Blood Bank is on the moon. Its security systems are impregnable. Dallas knows this. He designed them. And now Dallas' daughter is ill. Not with P2 but with an older disease. A disease that can only be treated by monthly blood transfusions; more than Dallas can possibly afford. There is only one way he can get it. He knows it. His employers know it. Dallas must attempt an impossible bank raid. If he succeeds mankind has a future: Review(s): Praise for Philip Kerr: "England's answer to Michael Crichton" - Financial Times / "Philip Kerr is a phenomenon as much as a novelist" - Mail On Sunday / "Kerr's rich imagination is lit by technology. He roars off down many original paths, and his work radiates belief in detail and knowledge" - Daily Telegraph / "Kerr has a remarkable facility to take a genre, stick to its rules, and then push them to the limit" - Sunday Telegraph / "With an observant eye for detail, Kerr reveals a fine-tuned ability to make his fiction credible by combining the futuristic with the familiar" - New Statesman And Society:- (original cost £12.99).
