Keep Moving. Stay Alive. Martin Gratz watched as his wife and children sailed away to safety under the protection of his old smuggling friend. With the help of a mysterious cyber-presence known only as "Jane," he must now find a way to locate and rescue his oldest daughter, Judy-Anne, contained by the CDC as they were on the brink of escaping as a family, and rushed off to carry out her life sentence in a containment facility. Without knowing whether or not her family made it out of the country alive and well, Judy-Anne must adapt to life inside the CDC long-term containment facility. Having never lived on her own, she is now forced to grow up quickly, and learn to protect herself in a place where people from all walks of life are thrown together against their will; both the good, and the bad. Lisbeth Gratz boarded the boat for Russia knowing that she would be sailing away without her oldest daughter, but quickly found that her husband would be staying behind, as well. Left to the care of Alexei, a friend from Martin's mysterious past, she must find a way to survive in a foreign land, and protect her children while learning to trust a man she barely knows. Quarantine is the second volume of the three-part Containment series, following the exciting story of a family fighting to survive.
