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. There s 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.
