Velogenic: The Dragon's Crown

The intense, plot driven story centers about an international team of medical and intelligence agency investigators looking into the intentional release of Covid 19 by a secretive group of highly influential and wealthy elitists seeking to profit from the resulting pandemic. Selling their market shares prior to the release of the virus, shorting the markets as they tumbled and then repurchasing the shares or the companies themselves when they hit rock bottom would net them huge profits, similar in fashion as when the same group orchestrated the 2008/2009 financial crisis.

Soon after releasing the virus, things begin to go awry for the antagonists when a whistle-blower points to the possibility of an accidental release from their Hong Kong laboratory. What next occurs sparks an intense international investigation spanning three continents caught in the grip of the pandemic. International intrigue creates political unrest resulting in a display of super power animosity and saber rattling reaching a climax in a head-to-head showdown between the US 7th Fleet and the Chinese Navy. The only chance of a de-escalation of tensions lie on the shoulders of upon our intrepid team of investigators. What they do or fail to do may well save the world, or throw it into a tailspin from which there is no return.
