LucentB is a retrovirus that’s inevitable, unstoppable, and utterly catastrophic for humanity. The US government believes the only person who can find the cure is the geneticist who tried to warn them about it and then disappeared: James Hakari. They assign the task of finding him to his former student Anna Asher, who in turn recruits paleographer and religious studies scholar Dr. Martin Nadai.

The brilliant but insane geneticist is leaving clues for Anna and Martin to follow, showing he’s truly earned his students’ nickname for him: the Maze Master. The search takes Anna and Martin around the world and into a warzone they never imagined.

Maze Master's LucentB is based off of the real retrovirus HERV-K, which has caused several plagues over the past 75,000 years. Modern geneticists consider HERV-K not to be extinct, but rather to be waiting for some trigger to come alive again.

With its scientific and archaeological authenticity and suspenseful clues, Maze Master will have readers rushing through its intricate maze to find out the fate of the world in this thrilling adventure.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Maze Master:

"Gear brings her own voice to the story, her own way of tackling the follow-the-clues format, and the result is a crisply written, lively, and quite satisfying novel--anything but a routine addition to an already overpopulated subgenre." --Booklist

"Dazzling and ambitious...Maze Master is an epic, breathless countdown to the end of mankind which can only be saved by locating and understanding ancient clues." -- C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Disappeared

"Crackles with tension and imagination, captivating with plausibility from beginning to the end. The science is both compelling and frightening as the characters match wits in a game with the highest stakes imaginable. The incredible thing is that the most surprising parts are real. This is nail-biting to the extreme." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author

"Maze Master has everything you want in a science thriller: a continent-hopping hunt through exotic locales, pulse-pounding action, and a twisty mystery involving cutting-edge science. At times the suspense is damn near unbearable." --F. Paul Wilson, New York Times bestselling author

"Terrific ... Maze Master combines wild imagination with solid science and history to create sensational suspense." --Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author

"From the very first page, you'll know you're in the hands of a master storyteller. With plenty of "Da Vinci Code" twists and turns, Maze Master is both thrilling and mind-bending." --Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of I Know a Secret

"Maze Master is a masterpiece of a bio-thriller that seamlessly melds science and superstition into a tale as relentless as it is riveting. Kathleen Gear has lent credence and credibility to the end-of-the-world tale championed by the likes of World War Z, I Am Legend and Stephen King's The Stand. This is speculative storytelling at its level best, weaving cutting edge genetics into a puzzle that must be solved if mankind is to survive. A master of the historical novel, Gear proves herself equally adept at handling the future in this cure for the common thriller." --Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of The Rising
