In late 1977, a British biochemical scientist is found dead while attending an international symposium in Sydney—and what appears to be a natural cause hides something far more sinister. As whispers of a weaponized virus surface, Major Ray Kazan is sent to investigate. His pursuit will take him from London’s alleys to Kuala Lumpur’s political corridors and into the jungle heart of Southeast Asia. What he uncovers points to a bioterror conspiracy with Cold War stakes— and one man determined to unleash chaos for a cause no one sees coming.
