The Hades Factor
Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds
A homeless man, an Army major, and a teenage girl, living miles apart, die
suddenly -- each victim of a fast-acting viral agent. Col. Jonathan Smith,
a
combat doctor assigned to investigate the case, is first warned off by a
shadowy FBI contact, then barely survives an attempt on his life. Not
knowing where to turn or whom to trust, Smith assembles a private team to
aid in his search for the truth behind the deadly virus.
