When Kate Morrison, a young reporter, accidentally comes upon a U.S.
Army camp in a desolate area of Nebraska, she is irritated and perplexed by the
bizarre treatment she experiences. Kate, who dreams of writing for a major
newspaper, investigates and is amazed that the army denies the existence of the
camp. As she continues her investigation, she learns that the camp is actually
an Al Qaeda operation manufacturing and distributing biological weapons to
terrorist groups. Masterminded by a sinister Japanese who has compelled the
acquiescence of a U.S. senator, the Al Qaeda carry out biological attacks
around the world. Together with FBI Special Agent Matt O’Neill, Kate is able to
forestall a biological attack on the U.S. Capital, but the Nation is left in
turmoil when a devastating anthrax attack on the auto show in New York City
leaves thousands dead. Thousands flee the city in panic when a miniature
nuclear bomb is planted in Grand Central Station. In this gripping tale Kate is
kidnapped, experiences betrayal, and faces beheading by the Al Qaeda.
Although my novel is fiction, it is based upon the details learned
about bioweapons during the years writing the book. I actually visited sites of
fictional attacks such as an Israeli kibbutz, an Indian village far up the
Amazon in Colombia, a camping area near Washington, D.C. and, of course, the
Javitz Center in New York City. Attacks with bioweapons are different in that
the target may not know that it has been hit until hours or even days later
when large numbers of victims suddenly develop similar symptoms.
Unit 731 really existed and so did General Ishii Shiro. See my
previous post on BIOTERRORISM.
