What happens when an engineered virus, meant to “cure” psychopathically violent patients, is let loose by accident on the world? And what chance does the world have when a rescue organization named WART (World Advance Response Team) is our only hope?
A virus of rage sweeps all nations with sometimes funny and sometimes scary results. Armstrong’s latest Bane thriller (after The Game) satirizes the medical virus thriller genre and zombie movies in one suspenseful but amusing sweep. Bane must “chase” the rampaging virus around the world, from Venice to Hong Kong, hunting for a cure and the cause.
