Someone is trying to steal Russia's store of a
long-vanquished deadly disease, and Lt. Colonel Jon Smith,
with the help of Covert-One, must stop the conspirators
before they loose Armageddon upon the world.
Lt. Col. Jon Smith, a medical researcher, is contacted by
Russian colleague with a strange request that he meet him in
Venice in ten days. When he does so, no sooner does Smith
sit down than his colleague is killed by a hail of bullets.
But not before he passes on to Smith intelligence that
someone is about to steal some of Russia's stash of the
smallpox virus. A long-vanquished disease, smallpox only
exists in storage at two research centers, one in the US and
one in Russia. Smallpox, however, is astonishingly virulent
and there isn't nearly enough vaccine available should there
be an outbreak. Even worse, the vaccine stores on hand are
very old.
At the request of Covert-One - an agency so secret and
loosely organized that it has no building, no org chart, no
salaries, and reports only to the sitting President, Jon
Smith starts to track down who is after the smallpox vaccine
and find out what they plan to do with it. But his
adversaries are several steps ahead of him. They have
already spirited the vaccine out of the heavily guarded
research center and are bringing it to a research lab where
they will genetically alter it to create one of the most
deadly chemical weapons ever. With a cabal of generals and
key figures in the military industrial complex working to
develop the weapon, Smith must find and stop the
conspirators before they loose Armageddon upon the world.
