Description
With U.S. intelligence agencies wracked by internal power struggles and
paralyzed by bureaucracy, the President was forced to establish his own
clandestine group-Covert-One. It is only activated as a last resort,
when the threat is on a global scale and time is running out.
In northern Uganda, an American special forces team is decimated by a
group of normally peaceful farmers. Video of the attack shows even women
and children possessing almost supernatural speed and strength,
consumed with a rage that makes them immune to pain, fear, and all but
the most devastating injuries.
Covert-One's top operative, army microbiologist Colonel Jon Smith, is
sent to investigate the attack and finds evidence of a parasitic
infection that for centuries has been causing violent insanity and then
going dormant. This time, though, it's different. The parasite had been
purposely kept alive and crudely transmitted in acts of terrorism. Now
the director of Iranian Intelligence is in Uganda trying to obtain this
biological weapon to unleash it on the West.
Smith and his team are ambushed and cut off from all outside support
just as they begin to suspect that forces much more powerful than the
Iranians are in play-forces that can be traced to Washington itself.
