The Haberman Virus

A Genetically-Engineered Virus. The Ultimate Biological weapon. A World under Threat!

Prophetic in its scope, frightening in its reality, fiction based on fact, this is not a book for the faint-hearted.

A virus that will not stop until between seventy and eighty per cent of the world's population is dead.  A virus that does not know or care as to a person's religion nor his politics or his or her ethnicity. A pandemic on a hitherto unforeseen scale.

A mysterious visitor, idealistic and not realising the flaw in his plan, checks his handiwork in the dead village clad in a bio-safety space suit. He makes a phone call. "The field trial has been successful. Implementation of Phase Two can commence."

The first release, after the trial in Afghanistan, is in an ultra-orthodox Haredi settlement in the West Bank, the second closer to Tel Aviv. And then, it enters Gaza, and all hell breaks loose.

Israel is unwilling to accede to Sam Haberman's demands. As they become more intransigent, his tactics become more aggressive.

Frustrated and confused, the disillusioned man releases the virus in the USA and the United Kingdom, and then it sweeps through Africa. Soon, tens of millions are dying, and countries are reverting to a pre-industrial age as if hundreds of years of progress were for nothing.

A dystopian nightmare based on reality, a techno thriller of the first order, this is a book to read in troubled times.
