Based on an actual event --the inadvertent shipping of pathogenic H2N2 strains world-wide, this thriller is the suspenseful tale of missing samples falling into the wrong hands. Despite her best efforts, heroine, SGT Maria Alvarez, USMC, is thwarted by all too common government bungling that dooms her mission impossible.
Once Pandora's box has been opened, can the pathogens ever be returned? Despite the concerted efforts of the military, international police, and medical experts, the risk of pandemic surprisingly comes from a most unexpected source.
A riveting account of virus samples, lost by a Centers for Disease Control contractor, en route to a Navy lab. Includes characters ranging from Navajo-born Marine Corps Recon and Army Medical Service Corps officers to nefarious bio-terrorism dealers.
By Gene Leonard 5-STAR REVIEWER Amazon.com
A masterful development of characters and why they do what they do. Science, diplomacy, and military mission send the reader to streets, hotels, and clandestine locations around the world. I couldn't put it down and I didn't want it to end.
