Author Lynne Smelser Releasing the Novel In Our Veins November 19, 2012

the flu. On an average year, 36,000 will die from it. What if a terrorist
decided to release a biological weapon that looked like the flu, but had
increased lethal potency? What if that biological weapon belongs the U.S. and
was accidentally released on American soil?
