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.
