The Fifth Horseman: A Novel of Biological Disaster (Michael Zammit)

Geneticists use the code name "The Fifth Horseman" to refer to the most-feared scenario known to science: the dangers posed by Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Recent progress in genetic engineering means the possibilities for genetic manipulation-by scientists or by terrorists-are endless and horrifying.

During the worst drought in memory, a ruthless international conspiracy unleashes GMOs as weapons of mass destruction. These deadly organisms rapidly contaminate vital waters, killing thousands and threatening the lives of millions more. The Fifth Horseman is unleashed.

In desperation, the White House summons an expert who patrols the most toxic beat on earth: Dr. Michael Zammit. Head of the cutting-edge International Environmental Response Team, even Zammit finds himself desperate to find a solution before time runs out . . .
