The Doomsday Bug

The book's hero is British secret agent Simon Sinclair, a freelance agent who usually works for Counter Terrorism Intelligence (Operations), or CT3, in conjunction with MI6 and the CIA. The Doomsday Bug is a BW agent developed in Russia's massive BW program and smuggled to Mexico by CABAL, the Confederation Against British-American Logistics, an international group opposed to British and American power and influence. Sinclair follows a global trail of meetings, smuggling, training camps, and weapons storage bases which culminates in four CABAL teams acting as decoys so that others can infect the water supplies and bomb buildings in four Texas cities. Sinclair tracks down the developer of the Doomsday Bug in Russia and learns of an antidote so that there are only circa 50,000 fatalities and spread throughout the USA, if not the world, is avoided. Then two CABAL men attempt to assassinate the President of the USA, reminding Sinclair that CABAL still remains a threat.
