Synopsis

The unimaginable happens... An anti-American group of fundamentalist extremists within Saudi intelligence plans and executes the introduction of a contagious and incurable virus into the United States. Two weeks elapse before anyone sees clearly what has happened ... but by then it is too late. Innocent carriers of the virus have already spread it out into their various communities. Bigpox is unleashed ... with terrible consequences. The same fundamentalists assassinate thousands of members of the Saudi royal family at one stroke, this time with a fast-acting virus. Oil flows to the United States are stopped immediately, with one exception. A fundamentalist general from Malaysia now enters the stage. He is appointed to lead a United Nations force 'to restore order' in the United States, now that every part of its infrastructure is collapsing because of the silent but raging bigpox virus. The general's personal ambition - to control the United States and secure his immortal place in history - far exceeds his stated military mission and his religious zeal. At the eleventh hour, a small group of fiercely determined Americans brings an end to the general's regime and the country begins to get back on its feet.

Biographie de l'auteur

Archer Swift, born in England and educated in England and France, experienced the mining business in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (West Africa), advertising sales at the London Sunday Times, the British civil service, banking in London, Chicago, and Boston, and cable television finance. He later acquired and still manages a thriving publishing business and lives in Philadelphia with his wife. In August 2000, Judith Miller, Stephen Engelberg and William Broad published "Germs" which set out to 'uncover the truth about biological weapons and show why bio-warfare and bio-terrorism are fast becoming our worst national nightmare.' That book and the events of September 11, 2001 prompted Archer to imagine the consequences if the United States was exposed to an incurable virus.
