      THE MEYERSCO HELIX traces the frighteningly plausible accidents by which the casual killing of a near-extinct mole escalates towards a situation where an anguished President must choose either to let a self-propagating biowar substance kill the world’s population or to destroy a major American city by nuclear blast. K116 is a top secret US chemical weapon that spells instant agonizing death to mankind. Self-generating in water, only a nuclear blast can stop the deadly dust expanding. When a lethal cloud of K116 escapes from a military research lab, one man survives. Charged with nightmare energy, Ribicoff becomes a walking carnage-machine. Alive, Ribicoff is a lethal liability — but dead, his K116-glutted body will unleash chemical slaughter on a scale that will make the Black Death look like a summer cold. Pursued by the massed might of US security forces, Ribicoff acts with the desperate, ruthless bloodlust of an animal at bay until they corner him in Boston. His fiancé, the biochemist Stella Christopher, is desperately working on a cure, despite the agents of her own government trying to kill her. Will an American President act with equal ruthlessness? There is only one way to cauterize the city of America’s Founding Fathers.

      WOULD YOU DARE TO TAKE THE ULTIMATE TEST? Imagine you’re wealthy enough to do just about any damn thing you want. Imagine you’ve bought all the kicks you can think of. EXCEPT MAYBE ONE. The ultimate thrill. The thrill of hunting down and killing the biggest, most dangerous game of all: MAN. Imagine that somewhere – probably in Africa where life is lived at the outer limits of survival – there are two men (both ex-mercenaries) who are happy to arrange this kind of slaughter-safari for you. For a hefty price, naturally. Imagine all this – and you’ve barely imagined the start-point of probably the most savagely, bloodily violent story ever written. ATROCITY WEEK a reading experience you will never forget. Never…
