The Devereaux Deity - McEllistrem, Steve

. .

Résumé :
The terrorists who created the Susquehanna Virus have been stopped and Earth is safe once again, or is it? The effects of the virus linger, creating questions about whether all of humanity will become infected. And a new threat emerges. An entity claiming to be God has hacked into multiple computers and performed miracles. What does he or it want? Jeremiah Jones must once again team up with Zora, Curtik, the now-robotic Walt Devereaux and Lendra Riley, the new head of CINTEP, to find the truth and eventually go after the heads of the large corporations who are seeking to use the virus to mold the world into their vision of paradise, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Aspen and her fellow cadets, aboard the AI ship that had been sent to Mars to establish another colony, are engaged in a conflict with the Chinese Escala, who are still determined to land on Mars and possibly harm the existing Escala colony there. And Doug Robinson has his own problems on Mars, where he has finally landed, hoping to see his daughter Celestia and re-establish a relationship with her mother Zeriphi. But he has somehow contracted the virus on the way and is now blamed for spreading it among the genetically engineered Escala and the humans stationed there....
