On Amazon - Note:
"First published in 1982, Stanley Johnson's The Virus is more than astonishingly prescient, with uncanny parallels to the current Covid-19 pandemic. It is also a fast-paced Cold War thriller that stands the test of time. Dr Lawrence Kaplan, one of the United States top epidemiologists, aided and abetted by the beautiful eco-warrior Stephanie Verusio, jets across the globe in a race to discover the secrets behind a deadly novel disease that threatens to wipe out half the world. A brilliant tale of geo-politics in the manner of Robert Ludlum. Funny, romantic, terrifying and totally relevant to today's pandemic crisis, this is a dazzlingly deft page-turner."
