A remote and isolated village in the Hindu Kush mountain range in North Eastern Afghanistan is wiped out by a virus unlike any seen before.

A mysterious visitor checks his handiwork clad in a space suit and an American female doctor succumbs to the disease.

Sam Haberman, a naturalised American, Israeli-born Jew and a pre-eminent scientist, is a brilliant virologist and geneticist. He is seen as moderate and charismatic, a successful ladies’ man, acclaimed by his peers, but he shields a secret. He is neither moderate nor Jewish.

Haberman realises the virus he has genetically enhanced, on the orders the American President, has given him the means to force the Israelis to redress the imbalance of the occupier and the occupied.

Millions will die unless Steve Case and his team can stop Haberman.
