The Hidden Side: Humanity vs. Microbes is the third installment of The Dark Side series, a continuation of the story of humanity's struggle against the smallest — and deadliest — enemies of our world.

This 20,000-word book explores the hidden war still raging in hospitals, between borders, and within our own bodies. From the revolution of antibiotics and the age of gold in vaccine discovery to the terrifying rise of drug-resistant superbugs and the threat of climate-launched pandemics, the book shows why the war against microbes is by no means over.

Blending history, science, and gripping human stories, it takes readers from the wards where resistant infections rage, to the labs where phage therapy and CRISPR are being weaponized in humanity's favor. Along the way, you'll discover how inequality, politics, and globalization shape our defenses — and why survival depends on global cooperation.

With a tone as engrossing as a medicine drama and as enlightening as a high-science bestseller, this book reveals the hidden war that is rewriting our past, present, and future.
