Special Agent Shawn Perry of the FBI is called to Philadelphia to help with a bank robbery case. He quickly realizes there are some unusual circumstances surrounding the robbery, and begins to uncover evidence of murder conspiracies, genocide, and people with unbelievable abilities. Trusted colleagues soon come forward to admit secret connections to the main suspect, Hara, a teenage girl. As Perry uncovers more and more seemingly impossible secrets, he realizes he has walked into a battle between two mysterious societies which have been at war for decades. His investigation eventually uncovers a decades-long secret that will threaten the lives of everyone around him, and force Perry to see the world in a different light. As the clock ticks down to zero, he comes to understand that guilt and innocence, and right and wrong, are not always as clear as black and white.

O NEGATIVE by Cassandra Lynn King is an excellent, fresh, bold story that fans of science fiction won't be able to put down! The writing is engaging. Immediately I wanted to find out what would be happening. All in all, this is a book I would recommend! -- “Judge, Writer’s Digest 21st Annual Self-Published Book Awards” It is 2018, and an attempt at genetic engineering at a Philadelphia laboratory creates a virus that targets those with O negative blood. The virus quickly spreads, and those infected begin to develop superhuman abilities. While the rest of humanity begins to see the mutated individuals as a threat to them, the O Negatives, led by 18-year-old Walter Reifert, must flee from government lockup and experimental laboratories before they are annihilated by the humans. The survivors must deal with the heartbreak of losing the ones they love; but in despair there is always hope — hope for new love, new life, and a better future for all. In this hope, the survivors discover new relationships and the true meaning of family. This sequel continues your favorite story lines and characters ten years after they were introduced in Cassandra Lynn King’s debut novel Parallels.

A Negative (Parallels)

human folly [fol-ee] noun definition: 1. Lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight 2. An act or instance of foolishness. 3. A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome. If there is one thing about human beings that you can count upon, it is our tendency to make a bad situation worse. Owners and builders take shortcuts when constructing a building, and it collapses, killing those inside. Operators take bribes to load more passengers on a ferry than it can hold, and it capsizes, with the death toll in the thousands. Nightclub owners fail to follow basic fire safety guidelines, and hundreds burn to death. Nuclear and chemical plant operators fail to follow basic operating procedures, causing huge areas to be contaminated and poisoning thousands. Storage tanks are not engineered properly; hot-shot pilots fly too low; crowds are incited to riot and stampede; and tons of munitions are stored in heavily populated areas. And then when disaster strikes . . . other people pay the price for their folly. Relive fifty of history’s great disasters made worse by human greed, ignorance, emotion, and lack of common sense, including the Great Molasses Flood, the Beer and Pretzel Stampede, a cyclone that gave birth to a new nation, and an earthquake that led to genocide.
