Stolen Virus

by Gary F. Jones

Overview

Tongue in cheek humorous mystery about a lazy college student, a virus, and an unlikely hero.

Veterinary virologist Jason Mitchell can’t keep his mouth shut, can’t lie convincingly, and can’t follow orders. He’s an extremely unlikely candidate to help the CIA locate and destroy a deadly hybrid virus stolen from Jason’s lab at the University of Minnesota.

From Washington to Djibouti, From Minneapolis to Yemen, Marines cringe, Senators turn livid, and CIA agents shudder as Jason struggles to prevent the virus from becoming a biological weapon in the hands of jihadists.

Sometimes we need a light, funny ready to take us away from the seriousness of reality. This book offers just that.

Author Gary Jones is a master at dry humor and unlikely heros.
