Five Days in Babylon

A fast-paced plot with a sharp edge, Five Days in Babylon by P. L. Reiter proves to be a high-octane novel that blends action and adventure with science and technology in a timely thriller that exposes the roots of bio-terrorism. For Jack Stone, a down-on-his-luck alcoholic living on the shores of California's Salton Sea, there is no saying no to a Viet Nam War-era friend. When Jack is asked to track down and bring to justice one Maria Elena Castillo, a young, chic, and savvy Latina wanted for the murder of prominent biologist Dr. Richard Rockaway, he will have to pull his act together to tackle the assignment and succeed. With the exasperating voice in his head constantly badgering him, Jack searches for his target in a surprisingly dangerous eco-terrorist world where Maria may prove to be the only lifeline he has for his survival.
