Description
Scientist Debra Hart and her team of experts are tasked by the United Nations to stop the epidemic. Racing against time, they must find the cause and the cure and figure out why this deadly disease is killing thousands in cities across the globe. Debra and her team will struggle to stop the virus from spreading to millions more, even if it means killing off every bat alive. But fighting to prevent her are manic animal rights activists who rail against species genocide, even if it means risking the deaths of the entire human species.
And hidden beneath a cloak of secrecy is a crazed academic who’ll even kill top American government officials to save one living creature.
This is the nightmare scenario that Debra faces as the public becomes so terrified of bats that entire communities become vigilantes
Alan Gold’s meticulous recreation of the fight by scientists to find a cure but opposed by feral environmentalist warriors, makes BAT OUT OF HELL into the sort of eco-nightmare which today’s scientists are terrified could become a reality.
BAT OUT OF HELL, a novel by Alan Gold is a terrifying race to stop a virulent plague spread by hungry, deadly bats whose environments have been destroyed by the encroach of civilization.
From the jungles of Indonesia to the very heart of New York City, comes a plague that kills 100% of its victims. Medicine’s greatest nightmare, this modern Black Death is caused by the most virulent and uncontrollable mutant virus spawned in the bloodstream of bats, which humanity has ever witnessed. And medicine can do nothing to stop its merciless spread.

From the blistering opening stanza of death, decay and mystery I was hooked. And then the tact turn different – the narrative pulled and pushed into new directions that weren’t at all what I had expected – in a good way.

BAT OUT OF HELL follows the unconventional path of politics, human activists, Hollywood, and vigilantes to drive a plot centered around a colony of bats responsible for spreading a seemingly incurable disease across the world (in this instance, the spread is more isolated to contained pockets rather than all out black death). Sounds a little too real doesn’t it? Which is what makes this book so plausible and more menacing.
John C. Farris, Dead, Buried, and Back! Magazine –
“A superb job of bringing the reality of an Ebola like virus to the pages of Bat Out of Hell. . . In this page turning novel, we’re submersed in the race to discover the cure, we’re frustrated by the political red tape, and we anxiously await the outcome of the eco-terrorists agenda . . . plenty of suspense, a few plot twists, and some poetic justice.”

“Wow – simply wow. I loved this book. When I read the blurb of BAT OUT OF HELL being an Eco-Thriller, I wasn’t sure what I was going to get – something that would lead to an extension level event, something that would morph into a walking-dead like survival horror? BAT OUT OF HELL could’ve turned into anything and I’m sure, author Alan Gold would’ve done a great job irrespective of the plot direction.

The writing is crisp and the dialogue captures the uniqueness of each character – be it the President of the United States in Nat Thomas or scientist Debra Hart (the two lead characters). Not to mention, that ending – one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of reading.”
