Virus: Strain of Islam: Biological Apocalypse in the USA

by A.J. Newman, Cliff Deane, Patsy Newman (Editor)

Three years ago, CIA Agent Max Owens was captured and tortured by the Taliban because they thought he had information concerning a bioweapon the Saudis were developing to use against them. Several hundred villagers died and then nothing happened. Now a biological attack on New York City leaves thousands dead and millions hospitalized in several countries. The USA is terrorized. No terrorist group claims the attack. Was this the major attack or a sample of things to come? Was this the end of the attacks or the first that leads to a worldwide apocalypse. In this bioterrorism thriller, radical Islamic terrorists use genetic engineering to develop a deadly strain of virus based on the Ebola and Zika viruses. Their goal is to eradicate non-Muslims, bring forth the Twelth Imam and begin the Caliphate. Can Max Owens and his team of CDC and CIA operatives find and stop this terrorist group before they unleash this Strain of Islam and kill billions of people?

Reviews

[Pamellia]

Fast paced fun book with good character development. A fast read with loads of action. Editing was better than previous books I have read by this author, but still many error that should have been corrected.

I would recommend

Virus

I love AJ Newman's books. He is so politically incorrect. It is such a breath of fresh air reading his books. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I.

[Cliff Deane]

Lots of characters, lots of action and all work together flawlessly...Oh yeah, it will scare the crap out of you because it is bound to happen. Read it before it becomes historical non-fiction, rather than Science Fiction.

Very good

This book was outstanding but scary as hell.It's hard to comprehend why these people hate us so much because we have our own religious beliefs. It doesn't make sense that Allah would want his followers to be such murderers. Sounds like Nazi Germany under Hitler.

Yikes

Had to double check I wasn't reading teen fanfic. At times it looked like you're reading online chat, the female Dr was a walking cliche, clearly a female character written by men. The writing was all.over the place. Shame as the premise of the story was good

Good story

I really enjoyed the story. Different take on the shtf books.
It does need to be better edited and provide better continuity of the details.
