Blurb:
In
only a matter of days, 9/11 and the destruction of the Twin Towers will be
rivaled by a lone-wolf terrorist attack on America. Atlanta is targeted as
Ground Zero for the most horrifying plague in modern times.
Deep
in the secret recesses of a Cold War lab, the Russians created tons of deadly
bio-weapons. Now, decades later, a protégé of that Russian research is about to
release weaponized Ebola into the heart of the South’s most iconic city:
Atlanta, where the symbols of American “decadence” range from a happily diverse
population to the Coca-Cola museum and CNN building.
A
preliminary test of the horrifying virus demonstrates the unspeakable suffering
of its victims—and alerts the Centers for Disease Control that a terrible
pandemic is in the making. CDC Virologist Dr. Dwight Butler begins a frantic
effort to track down the source before it’s too late.
For
new BioDawn CEO Richard Wainwright, it quickly becomes clear that the “accidental”
plane crash that killed the pharmaceutical company’s entire executive hierarchy
may have some connection to the evolving threat. Suddenly Richard is being
stalked by a hit woman. He and Butler join forces to find the lone terrorist at
the center of a plan that could unleash a modern Black Plague on the western
world.

Review:
I
like a good thriller, especially by an author who does his/her homework, as Mr.
Bernard obviously has done. While Dr. Butler is a colorful character, he takes
his job seriously, and is uniquely able to track down the bug that is plaguing
the people of Atlanta. Richard Wainwright comes out of retirement to take over direction
of BioDawn when the entire Board is killed in a plane crash. He’s only an
interim boss until someone permanent can be found, but he still wants to know
what’s going on in the guarded building the even he’s kept out of, and why
funding for that research doesn’t show up on the company’s books. Even when a
hit woman tells him to mind his own business. Especially then.
Mr.
Bernard kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page of Plague until I finally finished it.
Again, carve out a block of time before you pick up Plague. You won’t want to put it down once you do.
