With U.S. intelligence agencies wracked by internal power
struggles and paralyzed by bureaucracy, the President was forced to
establish his own clandestine group--Covert-One. It is only
activated as a last resort, when the threat is on a global scale
and time is running out.
In northern Uganda, an American special forces team is decimated
by a group of normally peaceful farmers. Video of the attack shows
even women and children possessing almost supernatural speed and
strength, consumed with a rage that makes them immune to pain,
fear, and all but the most devastating injuries.
Covert-One''s top operative, army microbiologist Colonel Jon
Smith, is sent to investigate the attack and finds evidence of a
parasitic infection that for centuries has been causing violent
insanity and then going dormant. This time, though, it''s different.
The parasite had been purposely kept alive and crudely transmitted
in acts of terrorism. Now the director of Iranian Intelligence is
in Uganda trying to obtain this biological weapon to unleash it on
the West.
Smith and his team are ambushed and cut off from all outside
support just as they begin to suspect that forces much more
powerful than the Iranians are in play--forces that can be traced
to Washington itself
