War Virus

A science fiction medical thriller set in Vancouver during the Cold War era.

War Virus is a riveting dystopian science fiction novel set in the bustling city of Vancouver during the tense years of the Cold War. The story unfolds in a world where a mysterious new epidemic is spreading with alarming speed, leaving the medical community racing against time to uncover its origins and find a cure. Mark Brett, a dedicated pathologist, returns from a much-needed vacation to find his lab in chaos. The headline-grabbing epidemic, initially dismissed as a mere flu, quickly reveals its sinister potential. With unusual symptoms such as unexplained miscarriages and glandular anomalies, the disease baffles experts. Dr. George Killington, the determined and sometimes paranoid leader of the research team, suspects the involvement of a man-made virus, possibly a covert biological weapon designed by the Soviets. Set against the backdrop of Vancouver's top research facilities and the global tension of the Cold War, War Virus explores themes of scientific ethics, political intrigue, and personal sacrifice. The narrative delves deep into the frantic efforts of Brett and his colleagues as they navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the Civic Hospital, dissecting case histories, and running cutting-edge experiments.
