Produktbeschreibung

"I, for the life of me, cannot understand why the terrorists have not, you know, attacked our food supply, because it is so easy to do."

-Tommy Thompson

US Secretary of Health and Human Services, December 3, 2004

This is a fast-paced agro-terrorism thriller set in England, the US, Pakistan, Yemen, and Ethiopia. A dark-skinned Pakistani veterinary technician in England endured a career of racial discrimination and verbal abuse. Just before his retirement, he steals infectious agents for serious and deadly animal diseases to avenge his mistreatment. He sells these agents to al Qaeda to supplement his meager pension.

Al Qaeda decides to launch an attack on US livestock and crops using these and other infectious agents. In the US, former ISIS jihadis, all US citizens, are recruited to spread the infectious agents. Their attacks are wildly successful and result in the US facing food shortages, inflation, and rioting against the government. These devastating effects on US agriculture expose the glaring inadequacies of US intelligence agencies

This third novel in the Winston Sage Trilogy is another chance for Win Sage to display his offbeat detective skills.

After serving in the Air Force in Japan, he taught and practiced public health at the Gondar Public Health College in Ethiopia. He has held faculty positions at several universities-Haile Selassie I, Duke, Pittsburgh and New Mexico- teaching and doing research, and has published numerous articles in leading scientific journals. He taught courses in epidemiology in Third World countries such as Pakistan, Thailand and Zambia for the International Agency for Research on Cancer and has traveled widely from Afghanistan to Tanzania.
