The Eleventh Plague

What if the ten plagues predicted by Moses in the Book of Exodus were coming true in America today? In present day Southern California, two children die of a disease virtually nonexistent in the United States. Noted virologist Jack Bryne discovers that the deaths are deliberate acts of bio-terrorism and that they bear uncanny similarities to the Fifth and Sixth Plagues described in Exodus, he is convinced he's uncovered a growing progression of horrors. He's right, and every month comes the reenactment of another even more catastrophic Plague.Soon Bryne's own computerized worldwide medical early-warning network, Pro-Med Mail, is invaded by the power behind the horrors'a morbidly brilliant serial killer with a dangerously sophisticated knowledge of toxins and an obsession with Biblical retribution. Bryne, himself now considered a suspect by the FBI, must convince the Bureau of his innocence and, with the help of an unlikely collection of allies, ferret out the maniac and stop him in time. Written by one of this country's most respected public health figures, and a novelist with a genius for the macabre, The Eleventh Plague is scientifically prescient and utterly compelling'a premiere thriller for the millennium. It will leave you with the disturbing realization that the real terror begins once you've finished listening.
