Dr. Anthony Church, an English physicist who is studying antigravity, ultimately discovers the plans, and his pro-Palestinian sentiments lead him to form an alliance with the terrorists. Ryan Carpenter, an American student, uncovers the plot and must find a way to foil the conspiracy against Israel without jeopardizing his relationship with his boss and mentor, Dr. Church. historical events that occurred during World War II, author Mannfred Hollinger, PhD, guides the reader into a gripping tale of bioterrorism that could cause widespread devastation in a world constantly threatened by the acts of terrorists.
