“Crisis Acting” conspiracists will call this “The Script”. Wait 3 days and Google it for 100,000 listings.
Thanks for the ping!
Those responsible for the security of the nation were now fully awake, more so than they had ever been. The colonel's words had bored through their fatigue like a laser. "If this thing is unleashed, the population of the planet will be returned to the level of the dark ages or even earlier. The very existence of mankind could be threatened." In less than two minutes, they had been catapulted into a terrifying new world where they confronted a threat unlike any other. Like travelers awakening on a different planet, they were suddenly surrounded by a very unfamiliar landscape.The gleaming silver tanker truck would not give up its secret easily. Only close inspection by a welder would reveal that the end cap had been skillfully reattached. Indeed, to motorists along the busy interstate, it appeared identical to thousands of other trucks that crisscross the country each day. But, unlike them, it contained no liquid, other than the bottled water for the terrorists concealed inside. They slept fitfully, the endless scream eighteen tires burning into their consciousness. From time to time they would awaken and smoke a cigarette, never looking toward the box at the rear of the steel cavern. It contained a weapon they could not fathom, a horrible weapon.
In the early years, Cuba's president believed his regime would usher in a new world order, with Cuba taking its place among the great nations of the hemisphere. But the American embargo had put an end to that, plunging his country practically into the Stone Age. Gradually bicycles replaced cars as fuel shortages compouned the scarcity of virtually every basic necessity. On walls throughout the capitol, Havana, dispirited citizens scrawled 'In Cuba, death is redundant.' As his country slipped deeper into oblivion, the president's hatred grew and he resolved to repay the Americans for what they had done.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Thanks for the review! Pretty much agreed with it, except I didn’t mind the over-the-top prose so much as this reviewer.
This wasn’t Joel Rosenberg, was it? :)
(Joel, don’t write anything about me, please.)
