Professor Stephen Hawking has famously predicted the end of the human race will be caused by genetically engineered viruses. This novel shows why he is right to say genetically engineered viruses are the real threat to mankind's existence, and an all-too-easy way it could happen.

What Professor Hawking does not know is how to stop this threat. This novel shows what it will take to remove this threat forever.

The human race is finally about to wipe itself out. Everybody knows it's coming. Nobody knows how to stop it.

It's the day after tomorrow. Mass murder is easy, and everybody is doing it . . .

Doctor Marie Chantelain is trying to make a virus that will cure her sister Anne of sickle-cell anemia. Her boss Doctor Simon Marix is secretly selling virus bio-weapons to Islamic terrorists. Marie catches Simon and is framed by him as a mass murderer. She escapes with help from her cop boyfriend Patrick and goes on the run from the FBI and the CIA. Together, Marie and Patrick desperately try to stop Simon before he sells yet another killer virus, a weapon Marie knows could wipe out the entire human race with the slightest slip.

The slip happens.

The entire world goes to Hell in a heartbeat.

Marie fights to save a world she knows is about to utterly destroy itself anyway, despite all she or anyone else can do. Simon Marix is only the latest manifestation of a fundamental instability in civilization.

Mankind is acquiring absolute power---without absolute law.

To save her world, Marie will be forced to face---and solve---a crisis that has been coming for humanity since its very beginning.
