Kalahari

When an educational safari goes wrong, five teens find themselves stranded in the Kalahari Desert without a guide. It’s up to Sarah, the daughter of zoologists, to keep them alive and lead them to safety. But soon they encounter something even Sarah cannot believe: a silver lion, as though made of mercury, makes a vicious, unprovoked attack on the group.

 

After a narrow escape, the group uncovers the chilling truth behind the lion’s silver sheen: a Corpus-manufactured, highly contagious and deadly virus that threatens to ravage the entire area—and eliminate life as they know it.

Praise for Kalahari:

 

'… From the moment I picked up Kalahari, I couldn’t put it down. Jessica Khoury has written a story that weaves together adventure, sci-fi, friendship, and romance. The reader truly feels as if they are along for the ride throughout the whole story. If you’ve read Khoury’s Origin or Vitro, you will enjoy Kalahari as well.'  - TheYoungFolks
