AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Twenty years ago an Ebola epidemic brought the world to the edge of oblivion.

'The West won the war, the East was isolated behind a wall, and a vaccine against Ebola was developed. Peace prevailed.

'Now Agent Noah Williams is being sent over the barrier to investigate a rogue scientist who risks releasing another plague. But why would a once-respected academic threaten the enforced vaccination program that ensures humans are no longer an endangered species?

'Hunting for answers amid shootouts, espionage and murder, Noah will have to confront a fundamental question:

'In the fight for survival, can our humanity survive too?'
