The strain / Toro, Guillermo del

When a plane lands at New York's JFK airport with everyone on board dead, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather of the CDC investigates what he thinks to be an outbreak of a mysterious disease but instead he finds a parasite that turns its victims into vampires. He calls upon Abraham Setrakian, a Holocaust survivor and former academic, who has seen this before, to help him before the country and then the world falls victim to the strain.

He calls upon Abraham Setrakian, a Holocaust survivor and former academic, who has seen this before, to help him before the country and then the world falls victim to the strain.

When a vampiric virus infecting New York begins to spread, Eph--with help from Setrakian and a motley group of fighters--tries to find a way to stop the contagion, rescue the city, and save his wife and son.
