- Synopsis
- Was it simply "a new epidemic"--or something frighteningly more sinister? First, Dr. Calvin Doohan's friend Benoit becomes ill and in a matter of hours is dead. The next morning, Doohan, the local World Health representative, finds the San Francisco Public Health Department in an uproar. Reports pour in of people throughout the state stricken by a mysterious influenza. Quickly, the fatality rate approaches 100 percent. Is it a new mutant strain of flu? A terrorist poison plot? And why does it claim as its victims only those who attended a recent VAW convention? It's soon obvious that the disease is neither the flu nor the Legionnaire's Disease that surfaced in Philadelphia a few years before. But what is it? Doohan, a dedicated doctor and researcher, starts his own investigation for The World Health Organization. Isolated by Army security, he uncovers disturbing evidence of a terrifying plot, evidence that places in jeopardy his own life and the lives of the men working with him. Doohan now finds himself a hunted man, his life forfeit if he makes the wrong move. A chilling novel of international intrigue and non-stop action from the best-selling authors of The Glass Inferno and The Prometheus Crisis, THE NIGHTMARE FACTOR is a suspenseful drama which is all too possible in today's world.
