Strait of Hormuz - Paperback

by George Poncy (Author)

It's the first wave of deadly genetic warfare... In California, a research lab is burglarized... in Brooklyn, a matzo plant is broken into, but nothing is taken... in Israel, agents cross the border from Syria and make their way to a water bottling plant. Months later, Arizona obstetrician Leslie Riordan realizes all her new pregnancies are Caucasian. She reports the anomaly to the CDC - and her life expectancy drops to zero. As births cease in Hasidic Brooklyn, newborns in Israel are afflicted with deadly Tay-Sachs disease. The plot leads from middle America to the Middle East, culminating in a high-tech naval battle in the Strait of Hormuz. If Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy are your cup of tea, here's dessert.
