THE MOTHER OF ALL PLAGUES N
o disease is more deadly or more enigmatic than the
genetically engineered virus known as “Saint Vitus.” Within seconds after infecting its victim, the neurotoxin causes massive hemorrhaging, madness, convulsions and, inevitably ... death. Tests show the
airborne virus is four hundred times as lethal as conventional neurotoxins – with characteristics that make it ideal for covert biological warfare. Since its
unauthorized “birth” in a maximum containment laboratory, Saint Vitus has been the U.S. Army’s best-kept secret. That is until its theft. Now in the hands of the Middle East’s most dangerous terrorist – known only as
Gorgon – Saint Vitus has become a terrible weapon of revenge with truly unlimited potential for destruction. All that stands between the brutal terrorists and a worldwide plague are two
unforgettable heroes: Julie Martinelli, a biochemist whose research inadvertently creates the virus, and Major Joseph Marshall, a special forces commander who plays be the rules of the enemy – namely, no rules at
all. With the fate of the world at stake, a desperate President orders all military resources directed at the virus’ destruction – even if that means unleashing a thermonuclear hell. CODE: ALPHA
is a roller-coaster ride into unrelenting suspense – a portrait of a terrorist driven by greed and the two who vow to stop him. Watch as Gorgon unveils his monstrous plan. Follow him as he methodically plots his attack on United States soil. Look on, in horror and fascination, as the characters propel you headlong toward an electrifying climax.
