Earth and Beyond (MedSci Missions 1) by Wendy Gamble

Earth is at peace…then an alien infection changes everything.
An engineer creates a revolutionary engine to launch the world’s hope for salvation.
A crew of Earth’s top talent face never-before-seen adversity as they search for a cure for humanity.

After a bizarre alien occupation, a deadly pandemic erupts. Possible salvation lies in a team finding a solution beyond the stars.
An ambitious Ambassador heads an all-star team. A war hero Captain steers a dangerous deep space drive invented by a possibly unstable genius. A surgeon is pushed beyond Earthly skills, a security head has all-too deadly skills, and a scientist risks it all.
Obstacles and battles of wills abound as they strive to survive the harsh and not-so empty space on the way to their distant goal. They deal with technical problems, illness, and secret elements of Earth’s warring ideologies as they kick off their mission.
