Author Brian Nelson’s debut thriller is an action pack race between China and the United States for global supremacy. Filled with well-written characters and a plot that never lets up. It keeps the reader on the edge of your seats right up to the climatic ending. A real-page turner of a story.

The year is 2025 and in Tibet people and thousands of people are dying of a mysterious disease. But is it a disease? It turns out to be a genetically made nano-virus that is headed by a Chinese General named Meng.

The United States is aware of this because they have a spy close to Meng. They call Rear Admiral James Curtiss to lead the team to come up with a way to counter what the Chinese are doing. He has a long past with the military and not all good. He assembles his team and they get to work and it’s now a battle with Meng as to who will develop a nano-weapon first.

Meng himself has spies and soon learns what the Americans are up to and he devises his own plan. Meng soon learns who the spy in his camp is and he plants his own spies and kidnaps some of the Americans working on the project and it leads to a massive showdown, where some people will not survive.
