Flight of the Raptor (Paperback or Softback)

A Nobel Prize winning Russian virologist is recruited by Libyan terrorists to engineer a supervirus, the Raptor, to depopulate the planet. So the world's largest pharmaceutical company, Draco Pharmaceuticals, employs unlikely protagonists to save humanity: Gavin Alexander, a salesman in central Missouri, must overcome an anxiety disorder to take advantage of an opportunity to stop the terrorists. Dr. Ross Hawks, a Native American research virologist at the company's research headquarters in North Carolina, races against the clock to develop a drug capable of stopping the Raptor virus.

And then there’s the President of the United States, Henry Knight, who is embroiled in a tough reelection campaign. Will he take decisive steps himself, or will the burden of rescuing humanity fall on the shoulders of Draco's star performers? Find out by reading Flight of the Raptor.
