The most valuable commodity on earth is the blood of "carriers." These young people hold within them a virtual fountain of youth. Those with the right genes produce blood that, when treated with a new wonder drug, cures disease, increases power, and makes the recipient a virtual superhuman.
It also makes the carriers targets. Blood farms filled with kidnapped children spring up around the country, and Los Angeles is the center of this blood-dealing world. The police are overwhelmed.
Ellie Batista became an LAPD officer specifically to fight this evil as a member of the Blood Crimes Unit, but she has been consistently denied a transfer to the prestigious unit-until the day she and her partner are ambushed during a routine stop. The resulting events plunge her into an undercover world more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.
A madman has found a way to increase the potency of carrier blood to levels previously unimagined. As he cuts a bloody swath through the already deadly world of blood cartels, Ellie is the only hope to stop him before the body count rises.

CROSSOVER SCIENCE FICTION IS HOT: In the tradition of Blake Crouch's Recursion or the television series Black Mirror, this is a novel that will appeal to both science fiction and thriller readers.
AN OUTSTANDING THRILLER IN ITS OWN RIGHT: These books can be high risk / high reward because they can fall into the valley between sci-fi and thriller, but like the most successful books in this category Blood World works as an outstanding thriller.
A RECOGNIZABLE FUTURE WITH A TWIST: The most successful of the crossover books create a world that is easily recognizable to casual science fiction fans-no flying cars, no computers with personalities. Blood World differs from our world in only one significant way: the quest for carrier blood.
