An initial book written by Ben Mezrich in his career is entitled ‘Reaper’. It was released by the HarperTorch publication in 1997. Author Mezrich has introduced the main characters in this book as Nick Barnes and Samantha Craig. The central theme of the book is based on a deadly man-made virus called Reaper. This brilliantly lethal virus travels through the electronic highway and infects the victims by just flicking a switch. And within no time after infection, the victim turns chalk white, crashes in pain, and then dies. What seems more deadly about this virus is that no one can escape from it. There seems no place on earth where this virus cannot travel and infect people. People can get infected by just turning on their television or booting their computer. It is learned later that the terrorists who have spread this plague have all the resources, money, and power, as well as the access to each and every house and office in America. As a result, no one has immunity against the lethal virus. Now, the burden of stopping the deadly virus lies on the shoulders of a couple of medical sleuths, paramedic Nick Barnes and virologist Samantha Craig.

His estranged brother named Jack Grady takes it upon himself to find out the reason behind his disappearance and get him back. The search for his reclusive brother takes Jack on a far flung journey from Peru, India, Brazil, and beyond. Jack unravels a mystery that links all the Seven Wonders and finds out that his brother might have discovered something that was concealed for many centuries. He takes the help of a scientist named Sloane Costa and unravels a conspiracy behind hiding the roadmap to the Eden Garden, and the reality related to a mythological ancient culture.
