Publisher's summary

In northern Uganda, an American special forces team is decimated by a group of normally peaceful farmers. Video of the attack shows even women and children possessing almost supernatural speed and strength, consumed with a rage that makes them immune to pain, fear, and all but the most devastating injuries.

Covert-One's top operative, army microbiologist Colonel Jon Smith, is sent to investigate the attack and finds evidence of a parasitic infection that for centuries has been causing violent insanity and then going dormant. This time, though, it's different. The parasite had been purposely kept alive and crudely transmitted in acts of terrorism. Now the director of Iranian Intelligence is in Uganda trying to obtain this biological weapon to unleash it on the West.

Smith and his team are ambushed and cut off from all outside support just as they begin to suspect that forces much more powerful than the Iranians are in play - forces that can be traced to Washington itself.

Welcome Back Covert-One

I think Kyle Mills did a great job in bringing back to life all the detail of character, plot and place that made the Covert-One series one of my all-time favorites. And props to Jeff Woodman for a narration well done . . .

More please!

I’m a big fan

Of this author but initially skeptical of the series. Glad I took the chance! I really enjoyed, for a change, how the good guys and the bad guys were on the same sides. I also found it refreshing that things didn’t always go to plan, the bad guys got to win almost as much. Not in the end but much more realistically portrayed. My 2nd of the series and will soon be onto another

Not quite Ludlum but good...

I would recommend this book...it took a little while to get into.
A lot of double crosses...All the way to the end...

Good book. I didn't like narrator for this one.

It was hard in the beginning to get into this book, but finished with a good story.

Terrible book - overly complicated from the beginn

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I listened to the first 20% of this book and just could not figure out what was going on - most books of this genre don't require so much effort

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'm going to try Dalton Fury's "Black Site"

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Narrator was actually pretty good

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Confusion and frustration

Any additional comments?

I would not recommend this book
