When Col Jon Smith of the USAMRIID is rudely awakened in his hotel room at The Hague by the blazing guns of terrorists while at a WHO conference on infectious diseases, he realizes there is a lot more at stake than just his life. Teaming up with his friend and ex MI6 agent Peter Howell, and CIA agent Randi Russel, sister of his dead fiance Sophie, Smith races against time to defeat a devilish plan by just-escaped-from-jail Pakistani terrorist Oman Dattar to attack NYC with a mutated H1N5 virus on the back of electrically-transmitted bacteria through the subway system. And while he is at it, he also needs to protect and save the new love of his life, a determined investment banker Rebecca Nolan, who has had the audacity of stealing Dattar's millions while he rotted in jail, and is now after her.
In the true tradition of Robert Ludlum and Covert-One, Jamie Freveletti takes cutting edge scientific progress and adds a liberal dose of fiction to it, concocting a crime thriller that is worthy of a read. However, unlike the master himself, Jamie's lack of field experience shows, and the amateurish descriptions of software and Internet banking, hacking, and tracking lend a shallowness to the book.
