Book Overview

In “Death by Design,” John Graves takes readers into a terrifying world where survival hangs by a thread. Tracker, a highly skilled operative trained by the Navy SEALs and Mossad, is handpicked by a secretive cabal of five powerful environmentalists. Their vision is clear but unthinkable—to eliminate humanity and restore Earth’s balance. Tracker is the only one capable of executing such an audacious plan, and with unlimited resources at her disposal, she meticulously engineers the deadliest assault on humanity.

Her mission is divided into five devastating fronts—biological warfare, agricultural sabotage, nuclear destruction, nanotechnology, and genetic experimentation. Each director within the cabal oversees a specialized team, pushing science and ethics to their limits to create the most effective means of extermination. Deadly pathogens spread across continents, radiation contaminates cities, and food supplies collapse. Governments struggle to contain the chaos, but their defenses are no match for Tracker’s relentless execution.

Standing against her is an elite force of resistance—Jake, a senior CDC official; Colonel Soliz, an epidemic warfare expert; and Dr. Blake, a brilliant scientist whose research holds the key to stopping Tracker’s plague. Adding to the fight is Mantis, a former ally turned deadly adversary, who matches Tracker in intellect and strategy. As outbreaks rage and nations fall, these few individuals must solve their master plan before it’s too late.

But Tracker is not just another assassin—she believes in her cause with unwavering conviction. To her, the destruction of humanity is not murder; it is salvation. As the world teeters on the edge of collapse, will her ruthless pursuit of mass extinction succeed, or will the resistance expose a flaw in her design?

With its gripping narrative, complex characters, and pulse-pounding action, “Death by Design” is a thought-provoking thriller that forces readers to question the fine line between justice, morality, and survival. This novel is an unforgettable ride into the darkest corners of human ambition, packed with espionage, science, and a high-stakes battle between intellect and ideology.

The story was exciting from beginning to end. The writer does a great job of creating suspense. Every scene with Tracker as she plans her next step or carries it outis suspenseful. I particularly liked the parts where she conversed with the people she was tracking. Even when she is harsh the author helped me understand why she acts that way even if I don’t agree with her. The book made me think a lot about people and survival. Its a quick exciting story that I couldnt stop reading.”
