Summary

Summary

Screenwriter, playwright, and novelist Stephen Miller crafts this harrowing tale about two people on opposite ends of the war on terror. Daria, an Iraqi refugee, has lost everything she holds dear- and now seeks revenge on those responsible. Recruited for a dangerous mission, she boards a plane to New York with instructions to make contact with- and infect- as many as possible. Meanwhile, American scientist Dr. Sam Watterman is asked by the government to help locate a new threat to homeland security.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A timely bioterror thriller…The novel’s premise is terrifying, and Daria is a memorable character.” Publishers Weekly
“A high-stakes thriller with heart.” Library Journal
“Miller writies beautifully, is hugely well informed on the subject of biological weaponry, and, more impressively still, manages to say something strikingly original about contemporary terrorism. His American society—awash in meaningless commercialism, appalling inequalities, endemic racism and sexism—is the perfect target for his Middle Eastern antiheroine’s dreadful mission. Miller gets it that, in the widest context, the war on terrorism, like the war on drugs, is as much about us as it is about them. A chillingly intelligent read.” David Downing, author of Zoo Station
“A real snake charmer of a tale, Stephen Miller’s new novel doesn’t unfold, it uncoils. You can only stare, appalled and fascinated, unable to avert your eyes. The Messenger is a riveting read from beginning to end. This is Cormac McCarthy territory: It goes way beyond its genre.” John MacLachlan Gray, author of Billy Bishop Goes to War
