Publisher's summary

Lucas Davenport and his daughter, Letty, team up to track down a dangerous scientist whose latest project could endanger the entire world, in this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

Gaia is dying.

That, at least, is what Dr. Lionel Scott believes. A renowned expert in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has witnessed the devastating impact of illness and turmoil at critical scale. Society as it exists is untenable, and the direct link to Earth’s death spiral; population levels are out of control and people have allowed disarray and disorder to run rampant. While most are concerned about deadly disease, Scott knows that it is truly humanity itself that will destroy Gaia. It’s only by removing the threat that the planet can continue to prosper, and luckily, Scott is just the right man for the job…

When Scott then disappears without a trace, Letty Davenport is tasked with tracking down any and all leads. Scott’s connections to sensitive research into virus and pathogen spread has multiple national and international organizations on high alert, and his shockingly high clearance levels at various institutions, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, make him the last person they’d like to go missing. As the web around Scott becomes more tangled, Letty calls in her father, Lucas, help her lead a group of specialists to find Scott as soon as possible. But as Letty and Lucas begin to uncover startling and disturbing connections between Scott and Gaia conspiracists, their worst fears are confirmed, and it quickly becomes a race to find him before the virus he created becomes the perfect weapon.

It was Lucas and Letty together! 'Nuff said

I was a little disappointed. I think it was the pacing but may have been character development. I never really felt like I knew Hawk and he was pivitol. However, it was 2 of my favorite characters kicking a## and taking names, so that part was excellent.

I’m hooked on his characters and their lives. The premise is great. The ending too quick.

Sanford did it again! Home run for Toxic Prey

Completely believable in the age we live in now. This story could have come from headlines from any major newspaper. Both fascinating and frightening.

good but not the best of the series.

Good relevant story. Not what I expected.

Good story but not a typical Lucas Davenport or Letty one. Miss simple crime story with Minnesota roots. Guess I’ll need to rely on that F Flowers.
Read bio on John Sanford / John Camp.
Very interesting, I’ve read every Prey - Flowers - Letty book as they’ve come out. Like I said appreciate descriptive Minnesota details, and the character development in all stories is great.
Like the Cedar Rapids Iowa - Minnesota connection. I’m Des Moines / Brainerd Mn back ground.
Since we’re both in our 80’s I hope I get to keep reading from the original author.

Very scary! Loved the Brit!

I liked everything about the book. It was very current post Covid and had Lettie, Lucas, Rey, the British MI5 guy plus quite a few other interesting characters

New narrator - (he’s great) and story it’s great)

The late Richard Ferrone was one of a kind, but Robert Petkoff does an outstanding job. I once again got lost in the story. Could the unimaginable actually happen. As usual, lots to ponder.

Typical and interesting Sandford book. I would certainly recommend it.

The story line is recent and sounds credible and possible. This is the first Prey book I have “read” via Audible. I will probably use audiobook format again.

Toxic Pray

Story not up to par. Letty’s character needs better development like her initial book. Book not very suspenseful . Did not feel urge to plow through the book.
