Product Description
David Yorke retired from an English espionage unit that nobody, except its members, ever knew existed. He was recruited and trained to kill, he became the best there was. This is his story as told to a professional writer. It records the devastating personal damage inflicted on Yorke by his job.He was brought out of retirement and given the option of being loaned to an American government security division. He accepted because he felt this final assignment could provide the justification for his life. He came to possess the antiviral to a newly developed virulent smallpox virus against which there was no known antidote; existing supplies of the traditional antiviral would be ineffective. The antiviral would be the only defense against a secret distribution method of the smallpox virus that could devastate the American Continent. Time was of the essence.The writer woke up: why was the old guy telling him all this so it was recorded? What he had disclosed was potentially more devastating than the 9/11 event, and he wasn't over yet. There was one more chapter to come.The final chapter takes place in Central Park in New York City in early 2002.
