About this audiobook
A plague is sweeping across the land, but this is no act of God.
It’s an act of war.
And the first shots were fired with a syringe.
In the sun-scorched plains of South West Africa, retired detective Fabel Retief is pulled from his quiet farm into a maelstrom of chaos. A virulent foot-and-mouth disease outbreak is crippling the country, spreading with unnatural speed and defying all logic. But Retief soon discovers the horrifying truth.
This is no random epidemic. It’s a meticulously planned biological attack designed to bring a nation to its knees. A hidden enemy is waging a silent war, and if Retief fails, the entire country will collapse into economic ruin.
His hunt for the truth leads from a deadly ambush in the Namib desert to the impossible peak of Spitskop, where a mysterious light signals a deeper conspiracy. To unravel it, he must face a shadowy mastermind and a suspicious vessel from Panama that is more than just a fishing boat.
This classic adventure blends relentless action with the tense, twisting plot of a spy thriller. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Desmond Bagley, it’s a story of grit, espionage, and one man against an invisible enemy.
The world of Fabel Retief just got a whole lot bigger. The fifth installment in this pulse-pounding series proves that no matter where he goes, trouble is sure to follow. The journey continues, but will he survive it?
