To celebrate Science Week, the Library is hosting a FREE Author Evening with Margaret Morgan and her Book, The Second Cure Control the brain and you control the world.
A pandemic is racing through our world, changing people subtly but irrevocably. The first sign for some is losing their faith. For others it arrives as violent outpourings of creativity, reckless behaviour and seeing visions.
Scientist Charlotte Zinn is close to a cure when her partner becomes infected. Overnight her understanding of the disease is turned upside down. Should she change the path of evolution?
As Australia is torn apart, reporter Brigid Bayliss is determined to uncover the dark truth behind the religious response to the outbreak.
Brigid and Charlotte find themselves on the frontline of a world splintering into far left and far right, with unexpected power to change the course of history. But at what cost?
Dark, thrilling and compulsively readable, The Second Cure is a provocative debut novel about control, courage and belief.
