About this listen

James Abel - author of the electrifying Joe Rush novels Protocol Zero and White Plague - unleashes another heart-stopping thriller in which an unholy plague from the past has been awakened....

While trying to alleviate the suffering of thousands in drought-stricken, war-torn Africa, ex-marine doctor and bioterror expert Joe Rush receives a plea for help from a member of his old military unit currently working as a geologist in a chaotic region of Somalia.

Joe arrives on the scene to find an entire group showing horrific symptoms of an ancient sickness once thought to be sent as punishment from heaven. But before Joe can get hard evidence identifying the illness, a local warlord takes matters into his own hands - and the proof is gone just as the illness breaks out back in the United States.

This outbreak is not a curse from God. It's a well-coordinated, meticulously planned attack with a specific goal that could overturn global stability and kill millions. And the only one who can stop the downfall of civilization is Joe Rush....

Very good story and exceptional narration. Main character is always a little too alone and edgy and never gets the girl in the end as he " rides off into the sunset" after saving the world once again.

Happens in every book. Time to make Joe a happier hero!!!!

The science is one of the best parts of these books. And the excitement is always there.

Can not wait for his next book

Our protagonist Joe Rush; Marine Colonel, doctor, and bio-terrorism expert is called upon once again to investigate an entire group of scientists in Somalia showing dreadful symptoms of a disease known as leprosy. But leprosy does not infect groups, nor does it evolve as quickly as the infection they face. Nothing makes sense; is it terrorism, natural origin, or lab made? Once again Rush and his team must investigate and identify the cause of this latest epidemic before it goes global and kills millions. Another great story with wonderful characters. Each of these volumes in the series could be stand-alone novels, but it is entertaining and educational to read them together. The narration was excellent as only Ray Porter can do.

Once more unto the breach.
