The Fever Line

You command a medical convoy from collapsing Baltimore to Atlanta's last functioning emergency hub as linked Ebola clusters tear through the eastern corridor. The disease obeys real rules. The people controlling the route do not. A murdered epidemiologist left a red triage tag, an exposure map, and proof that Northstar executive Vera Kincaid sold safe passage while symptomatic clients seeded new chains of contact. The convoy's doctors, soldiers, nurses, witnesses, patients, and suspects can be saved, lost, injured, exposed, captured, or killed. Evidence competes with medicine. Mercy costs time. Containment can demand a closed gate. Across eight escalating episodes, every decision changes who reaches the last clean mile and what is possible there. The epic conclusion resolves three independent questions—who lives, whether the truth survives, and whether the fever line holds.
