The Initiative

An Anthrax Outbreak in New York City Is it a Terrorist Attack? Is It Germ Warfare? The US has deployed illegal anthrax weapons to end a war in the ancient city-state of Astrakhan. Two of the bombs are stolen and smuggled by known terrorists into New York City. One is opened and its contents scattered in Times Square. When Doctor Cassandra Williams of the CDC is sent to New York, one day into this epidemic, there are seventeen cases of this rare disease – there will soon be hundreds if not thousands. A Reporter tells the junior Senator from New York- Richland Powell, "…The woman who contacted me said that the group has another bomb. She said they plan to drop it on the city soon." Cassandra Williams and Richland Powell, join forces to prevent the worst medical disaster in the history of the human race. It is a race against time. Meanwhile, a murderous government cadre tracks Cassandra to keep her from identifying the origins of the outbreak even if stopping her means preventing her from saving New York. What do readers say?
