THE FIRST SHOTS
The Epic Rivalries and Heroic Science Behind the Race to the Coronavirus Vaccine
This could be the defining story of our times. The planet is in the throes of the greatest pandemic we have ever seen, and there is one thing that could put a stop to it, a vaccine that can be widely disseminated. But who will be the first to develop it? And how much money do they stand to make?
In the tradition of Michael Lewis and Richard Preston, Brendan Borrell will chronicles this global story, illuminating the science behind the various vaccine technologies, bringing it alive through the players at the center of the race, navigating the complicated intersection between commerce and a cure, and spinning a page-turning narrative as we march forward to a solution. So many of the competitive vaccine books concentrate on how governments got this pandemic wrong. THE FIRST SHOTS tells the story of how heroic scientists got it right.
Brendan's intense, deeply sourced reporting covers the entire arc of the pandemic and race to the vaccine - from January 2020 to May 2021. A perfect end point.
Brendan Borrell is an award-winning journalist who has written deeply reported investigative pieces for The Atlantic, the New York Times, Wired, Smithsonian, and National Geographic. He is also a correspondent for Outside Magazine. He will be embedded in several key labs and agencies involved in the story and will draw on his years of covering science, health and business to tell the one coronavirus story we will all want - and need - to read.
Brendan is a real talent, a writer with a huge future, and tells this story with the kind of color and verve that will engage readers for years to come.
