Viral deaths battle love and faith in a world where a pandemic makes touch deadly.
After the pandemic of HIVE-5 drives out full-contact sex, rogue reporter Dayton Winstead fights for the future of love. When millions die in less than a year, new VR SimSuits on a network offer the technology to experience SafeSex's passions in simulations as real as any now-deadly embrace. But love takes a beating in Viral Times. Casualties of loved ones mount in a pandemic that spreads through simple touch. Dayton's lost wife haunts his heart and drives his work through a losing battle.
Although SimSuits keep the virus at bay, they also open the door for attack. Nobel-winner Jenny Nation's evangelistic faith sparks the geneticist's mission to erase the SexNet, the lure of the Suits, plus any sinner who wears one. On the seventh day after her ultimatum, Nation's engineered virus, Mighty Hand, will sweep through the net and into the Suits to infect the millions who believe they are safe.
Humiliated and broken by a counter-attack against his investigations, Dayton meets Angie, a naturopath with her own losses of love to bear. Spreading the medicine of natural immunity through ageless practices and cures, she finds herself on a head-on course with Mighty Hand's death and Dayton's love. Mighty Hand threatens to change their world forever—unless Angie and Dayton can find and forestall the first biological virus to attack over a network. Only faith in immunity and the courage to risk infections can recover love in Viral Times
