Publisher's Summary

When ex-Navy SEAL Nick Foley travels to China to find purpose and escape the demons of his past, he instead stumbles into a conspiracy his Special Forces training never prepared him for. A mysterious and deadly outbreak ravages a remote area of western China, and Nick finds himself the lead suspect in a bioterrorism investigation being conducted by China's elite Snow Leopard counter-terrorism unit.

To clear his name and avoid prosecution, he must team up with beautiful Chinese CDC microbiologist Dr. Dazhong "Dash" Chen to find who is really behind the attack. As their investigation proceeds, their budding friendship is tested by nationalistic loyalties and suspicion.

In a race against time, Nick and Dash must risk everything to stop a mad man before he unleashes the world's next super-weapon in Beijing.

Beyond contemporary.

Up to the minute contemporary spy thriller around a disease leak in China and the Uighurs situation, set in far-western China and Beijing and with an intriguing futuristic element in the nanobots. And a nicely understated romance between Nick Foley, ex SEAL damaged goods on a humanitarian mission and his partner in the investigation microbiologist Chen Dazhong.
No literary masterpiece, but a good storyline.

Relevant commentary for COVID

While this is a work of fiction, the ideas are a fascinating exploration of bioweaponry - some of the advantages, disadvantages and alternatives.

Suitable for teenagers..

This book is not sophisticated. It is suitable for teenagers, not adults. No realism at all.
