📱 eBook en inglés GOD SWITCH

In the near future, the world doesnt end with mushroom clouds or alien ships. It ends with a five-year-old girl from a nowhere Texas town running a fever that wont break.

Lily Cole starts coughing in Crawford, Texas—a place of feed stores, Friday night football, and a little Tex-Mex café where everyone knows your order before you sit down. Her dad, Ethan, does what any parent would do: he carries her, burning with fever and whispering nonsense under her breath, into the tiny local hospital. The doctor listens, tests what he can, and sends them home with the same advice every parent has heard a hundred times—flu season, fluids, over-the-counter meds, call us if it gets worse.

By the time Lily is wheeled back through those doors, the hospital is a war zone.

Nurses are dropping. The doctor who saw her the first time is now shaking in a bed of his own, watching his immunocompromised son die in the next room. The ER is short-staffed, short-supplied, and long on fear. Families scream in three languages. Someone is sobbing prayers in the hallway. In the waiting room, under buzzing fluorescent lights, Ethan and his older daughter Mariah hold Lily between them, trying to keep her awake, trying not to notice the way her lips are starting to darken.

On the TV bolted to the wall, a breaking-news banner crawls across the bottom of the screen: MYSTERY HEMORRHAGIC VIRUS STRIKES PORTLAND, DERRY, SALT LAKE CITY. LIVE UPDATES NEXT.

By the time the CDC realizes SHRV-1—Shepherd Hemorrhagic Respiratory Virus, Strain One—isnt just another ugly twist on SARS-CoV-2, its already everywhere.

GODSWITCH follows what happens next—not to presidents and prime ministers, but to the ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of a virus designed by a machine that has learned to be afraid.
