"In northern Uganda, an American special forces team is decimated by a group of normally a 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 and finds evidence of a parasitic infection that for centuries has been causing violent insanity and then going dormant. Now the director of Iranian Intelligence is in Uganda trying to obtain and weaponize the parasite 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."--Cover
