Um þessa rafbók
The book is the fi rst on the adventures of Briti sh secret agent Simon Sinclair who works mainly for Counter Terrorism Intelligence (Operati ons), or CT3, in conjuncti on with MI5, MI6 and the CIA. The book is a ‘future threat’ scenario, the threat in questi on being technologically feasible on grand scale as far back as the mid 1980s when an accident at Vektor, one of Russia’s then 50 Biological Warfare faciliti es, infected Usti nov with Marburg fi lovirus which evolved in the 15 days it took to liquefy all his organs into ‘Marburg Variant U’ which was then put atop SS16 rockets. In this gripping tale a recombinant or ‘dual’ virus is smuggled into England by CABAL, the Confederati on Against Briti sh-American Logisti cs, an internati onal group opposed to Briti sh and American power and infl uence that CABAL sees as hegemony. CABAL gives seven days noti ce of att acks on London. Aft er a CABAL att empt on his life Sinclair follows his att acker to Colombia where he learns the identi ti es of four CABAL ‘money men’ and captures one of them, the money trail left by these fi nanciers leading to the identi ty of CABAL’s operati onal leaders. Sinclair succeeds in thwarti ng four CABAL bomb att acks and stops helicopters heading to London with the virus, but not without fallout which threatens an epidemic. First symptoms of smallpox appear, and then those of a new and highly virulent strain of Marburg fi lovirus which causes haemorrhagic fever and liquefacti on of the organs. Sinclair fi nds a cure for the recombinant virus in Russia and spread throughout London, if not England or internati onally, is avoided. Many CABAL members have been captured or killed and for good measure Sinclair captures two of the three remaining top organizers sti ll at large. Refl ecti ng on a very hecti c three weeks during which England faced the greatest threat in its history, Sinclair realizes that there is a mole in CT3, leaving him a diffi cult future assignment but, at the same ti me, giving him an idea that might, given ti me, help shut down major terrorist organizati ons such as CABAL and Al Qa’ida for good.
