The China Resolution John Murteson

It's the year 2020. A viral pandemic rages across the world, killing hundreds of thousands and wreaking havoc on national economies. Rampant speculation abounds the Chinese Communist government unleashed the pandemic in a province of eastern China through a secret military laboratory targeting worldwide contamination. Many think the Chinese government deliberately hid and misdirected critical information about the outbreak to allow time and the chaos of events to spread the virus and infect the world. These world events draw doctors, scientists, and innocent people on both sides of the Pacific into a web of intrigue, torment, and deceit in a race to uncover the truth and deal with the devastation. Harrowing escapes, frantic research, clandestine rescues, and poignant moments take place on an international stage with confusion, deception, and malice buffeting heroes and antagonists alike. A renowned American virologist and journalist, along with a repentant Chinese military scientist and a dedicated doctor, lead the effort to expose the facts and secure the one man who can unravel the mystery. Doctors, scientists, and politicians from national institutions add to the missteps and blunders that worsen the situation and threaten to derail the efforts to control the crisis. All the while, the carefully orchestrated Chinese strategy for world domination plays out against the backdrop death, heroism, intrigue, and upheaval across the globe.
