The Cure

by Ken Peters

Once, Africa belonged to the families that resided in Her vast lands. She belonged to the people who grew in the shadow of Kilimanjaro to the fertile plains of the Serengeti. By the late 20th century, Africa's minerals, crops, and oil was being ripped from the soil and sold across the world leeching European industrialists. The tribal culture was no longer a fit for the urban world as a man could no longer measure his wealth by the number of cows he owned but instead, he began to measure his wealth by the number of children he sired. With promiscuity in the emerging cities and industrial human encroachment into the bush, so came the dreaded HIV virus. A company in South Africa develops a vaccine, but when a plot is hatched by a Group of Six Old World European Families to change the vaccine and cripple the continent, Africa is on the brink of another catastrophe. "The Cure" is a novel of biological espionage. A sinister group of mercenaries attempts to alter a vaccine that will result in the crippling of the African people. Can the Biotechnologist that helped developed the vaccine expose their plot and save the people?

Incredible story of an HIV vaccine being developed in South Africa. A plot to steal the vaccine under the guise of commercial espionage by a clandestine group of European families who colonized and developed most of Africa. The true nefarious plan is to genetically alter the vaccine to contaminate it and unleash a massive death plan to regain commercial control of Africa by these former colonial families

Great ride. A thriller for the ages.

Superbly plotted, an ingenious thriller that will hold your interest from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed The Cure and highly recommend it.
