About the Book

Based on an actual event -- the inadvertent shipping of pathogenic H2N2 strains worldwide, 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.
