Mack Bolan the Executioner #152
Combat Stretch
A cure for a raging disease suddenly goes wrong and becomes far worse than the disease itself. Inside an isolated research center, the new viral nightmare is contained by a Japanese scientist while he seeks a solution. If it gets loose, even the atmosphere can transmit the fatal plague and infect the world.
In desperation, the President calls Mack Bolan and tells him that a terrorist has just kidnapped the scientist and stolen the lethal virus. Millions will die if the superpowers don't give in to the terrorist's demands.
The Executioner is well aware of the deadly potential of the virus. But he also knows that a bullet kills far quicker.
