A gritty, dark tale of infectious disease gone wrong – the timely graphic novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Val Mc Dermid, stunningly illustrated by Kathryn Briggs
‘A brilliant and timely story, told with Mc Dermid’s verve, style and passion. I couldn’t stop turning the pages, even when I could barely take the tension. Wonderful.’ Denise Mina
It’s the summer solstice weekend, and 150, 000 people descend on a farm in the northeast of England for an open-air music festival. At first, a spot of rain seems to be the only thing dampening the fun – until a mystery bug appears. Before long, the illness is spreading at an electrifying speed and seems resistant to all antibiotics. Can journalist Zoe Meadows track the outbreak to its source, and will a cure be found before the disease becomes a pandemic?
A heart-racing thriller, Resistance imagines a nightmare pandemic that seems only too credible in the wake of COVID-19. Number one bestseller and queen of crime Val Mc Dermid has teamed up with illustrator Kathryn Briggs to create a masterful graphic novel.
