Synopsis
Now in paperback and soon to be a major motion picture—the terrifying techno-thriller in the bestselling tradition of Michael Crichton!
When the first planes go down — in Europe, in California, in Asia—authorities blame terrorists. All flights are grounded as world leaders try to figure out how the global assault has been coordinated. And when cars, ships, and factories stop running too, it becomes clear that the common link is oil. Somehow a microbe, genetically engineered to destroy petroleum, has infected the world supply. As the world’s economy grinds to a crashing halt, Dr. Gregory Gillette, an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control, races against the clock before more havoc, devastation, and terror is wreaked. Utilizing his skill as a seasoned Hollywood screenwriter, Reiss weaves the plot into a page-turning, blockbuster thriller.

About the Author
R. Scott Reiss lives in New York. The film rights to Black Monday have been optioned by Paramount Pictures.
From AudioFile
BLACK MONDAY is so well done you'll think about stocking your basement with canned goods. Seriously. AudioFile Golden Voice Dick Hill expertly brings R. Scott Reiss's novel about Armageddon to life with frightening skill. The premise is simple: Someone has introduced a nasty microbe to the world's oil supply that makes the oil and gasoline useless and destructive to vehicles and machinery. The book was optioned by Paramount Pictures even before it was released. The hero, Gregory Gillette, is an epidemiologist who is close to solving the crisis, but he is thwarted by bureaucrats who think they know better. Hill slips in and out of American and Middle Eastern and other accents with incredible skill as he details the day-by-day breakdown of society as gasoline disappears. M.S.
