About the Book

Book Synopsis

Recruited by the United Nations, Alex and Sam set off on their most dangerous mission yet. Their task: find and retrieve the last remaining fossil evidence that may link humanity with mitochondrial Eve from a death-defying underground cave system in war-torn South Africa!

But the fearless team soon comes face to face with the perils of a nation in conflict with each other. Caught in the crossfire of a country plunged into a historically charged political war, keeping their wits about them and allegiance to their mission are the only things keeping them from being killed.

And lurking in the shadows, a narcissistic billionaire with a sinister desire to feed his ego will stop at nothing to steal the fossil. Seeking more than mere power and acclaim, his motives drive him to stop at nothing to get his hands on the relic before anyone else does.

Will Alex and Sam successfully complete their mission and escape South Africa unscathed, or will this be their first mission to leave more harm than good in its wake?

If you enjoy reading page-turning religious suspense fiction that grips you from the first page, then you will love this inspirational, fast-paced clean suspense thriller! Full of mystery, twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end, this third-in-series will not disappoint!

Review Quotes

• Urcelia Teixeira's books never cease to amaze me. The amount of detailed research which she does to transport the reader to each of the locations in the story is absolutely amazing. Added to that are the action sequences which are at a nail biting pace giving enjoyment to the reader on every page. - Amazon customer

• WOW! JUST WOW! WHAT AN ADVENTURE! The Alpha Strain deserves more than 5 starts. The is truly a page turner. I was hooked from the very 1st page. I pride myself in being able to figure out the ending of a mystery or archaeological thriller by the 1/2 way or 3/4 of the book. So didn't happen with this book. Totally had a twist that I had not seen coming. I stumbled across Urcelia 1st book and so glad that I did. Urcelia Teixeira and the Alex Hunt Adventures has become one of my favorite authors and series. - Amazon customer

• Betrayal, treachery at every turn. The man who sent them has ulterior motives. His motivation? The oldest motivator in man's history. Money. This is an extremely well written fast paced action thriller from the first to last page. I enjoyed it immensely! My highest recommendation. - Amazon Customer

• It's a cliche to say a book is a "page turner" but The Alpha Strain really & truly is. The book is full of modern & ancient history; there are subtle tie-ins later in the book to the beginning of the book ... so don't skim too much! Urcelia Teixeira is great story teller. She makes you feel like you're right there with Alex & Sam in the middle of their adventures. I strongly recommend The Alpha Strain & all of Urcelia's other books; you won't be disappointed. Be forewarned though ... once you start it, you won't want to put it down! - Amazon Customer

• Had me riveted to my seat. Another spell binding adventure awaits the reader as Alex Hunt dives into another mystery with her side kick Sam. This will leave you breathless with the dangers and perils Hunt faces in her drive to find the Alpha Strain. Teixeria does it once again having the readers to check their passports before reading commences. A well thought out plot will leave the reader saying "I did not see that coming." - Amazon Customer

• Well this was another fast paced, hands on the edge of your seat action adventure. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, things totally change direction. Alex is a very determined, never say quit and forward thinking archeologist and that's what I love about her character. Alex and Sam are such a great couple and they are brilliant together. Well another awesome book Urcelia and I can't wait until the next adventure for Alex and Sam!! - Amazon Customer

• Great read. It took 2 days to read this book. I could not put it down. The writer always adds truth to her books with a little imaginary to it. It is the best adventure so far . You just fall in love with Alex.
  Looking forward to finding out about the next adventure!! - Amazon Customer
