Clancy-like thriller details bioterrorist threat
**** Chemical or biological warfare inflicted through our everyday routines is the nightmare that many Americans dread even more than a horrific terrorist attack like 9/11 or a military assault of our shores. The Jihad Germ explores the frightening possibilities of an advanced bioterror weapon penetrating U.S. port security and everyday life to kill thousands in one of the nation's most historic cities.
His storyline resembles the political thrillers and technically detailed espionage tales of bestseller novelist Tom Clancy. Dr. Ron Raines and nurse Christie Fellows are main characters who work tirelessly to try and save the lives of citizens. FEMA, the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Marine Chemical and Biologic Incident Response Force and other civilian and military agencies strive to contain the threat and to find an antidote to stop the germ's killing rampage. President Jack Lunsford ("He had been a Marine pilot and he always would be...") and others worked in the aftermath to find and punish the guilty and to restore the balance of world power. The Jihad Germ is a riveting, fastpaced story, frighteningly real because it really could happen.
Dr. Rivers is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Rivers of Grove Hill. He will be at City Drugs in Grove Hill beginning at 2 p.m. Friday, March 21 autographing copies of The Jihad Germ. Copies of the book are available at the store.
