Long Synopsis:
The war of words between right and left collapsed into a shooting war, and
raged between the high-technology weapons on each side, devastating cities
and overrunning the countryside. At the close of Empire, political scientist
and government adviser Averell Torrent had maneuvered himself into the
presidency of the United States. And now that he has complete power at home,
he plans to expand American imperial power around the world. Opportunity
comes quickly. Theres a deadly new plague in Africa, and it is devastating
the countryside and cities. President Torrent declares American solidarity
with the victims, but places all of Africa in quarantine until a vaccine is
found or the disease burns itself out. And he sends Captain Bartholomew
Coleman, Cole to his friends, to run the relief operations and protect the
American scientists working on identifying the virus. If Cole and his team
can avoid dying of the plague, or being cut down by the weapons of fearful
African nations, they might do some good. Or they might be out of the way
for good.
