Justin Martin is a doctor run ragged on the front lines of a new pandemic when the Darmstadt virus starts dropping bodies. Borders close, curfews are put in place, and armed forces are activated in an effort to diminish the spread of the deadly virus running rampant across the world. A vaccine is desperately needed, but when it arrives, it comes with disturbing side-effects. Inoculated, by Todd M. Thiede, explores a dark and twisted worldwide catastrophe that opens the door for a nefarious plot to dominate all of humanity.
Dr. Justin Martin, of the Greater Houston Memorial Hospital, is apprehensive when Zynata Pharmaceuticals creates Marvent, a new miracle vaccine approved only days after the FDA announced they were years away from a cure. Justin keeps his past training with SEAL Team 6 a secret because “killing machine” doesn’t fit the profile for a caring doctor, but he can’t hide his suspicions about what might be behind the outbreak, as well as the new miracle vaccine.
And he’s not the only one.
Fights over toilet paper and safety precautions shift to arguments over the long-term safety of the new vaccine. Strange reports of mind-altering side-effects ranging from missing time to full-on psychotic episodes do not reassure Justin that the cure is worth the risks. Zynata’s insistence on handling distribution with the highest security, cutting the normal authorities out of the loop, has Justin determined to steal the vaccine and use his biochemistry background to determine what it contains.
The results are chilling.
As more people receive the vaccine, Justin is in a race against time to reveal his findings, but nobody will listen to him. He needs powerful friends to keep the world from the hands of powerful enemies. He calls in favors and joins with unlikely forces in the hopes of creating a cure to negate the vaccine’s devastating side-effects and distribute it to every living person on the planet.
Filled with tension and intrigue, Todd M. Thiede brings to life one of the world’s greatest fears with a virus deadlier than Ebola and COVID-19 combined. Nobody is safe in this action-packed thriller being played out on the world stage, where members of massive covert organizations unite to form a ragtag team of highly capable individuals ready to save the world from its own destruction.
