Olduvai Countdown

<p>The world had just exited the worst pandemic in a century when a small African village in the Olduvai region - the birthplace of human evolution - is consumed by death in a few hours. All indications point to a new infectious agent as death spreads rapidly across the continent. Mensa-minded Dr. Catherine Montoya the CDC Director calls Jack Cann a 45-year-old virology Ivy League rock star and now a professor at his Midwestern alma mater to lead the team working to identify the cause. The NSA suspects it's a genetically-altered weaponized virus created by the North Koreans tested in Olduvai now out of control. While the world prepares for war Jack and Seal Team 2 covertly search for evidence in a remote North Korean biowarfare lab but Jack's romantic partner anthropologist Dr. Marla Qui discovers the critical clue: the pattern of death follows man's evolutionary migratory path out of Africa and is now headed toward India and Asia. The research team discovers something more terrifying than any virus: a genetic kill switch hiding dormant within the human genome since the dawn of evolution threatening all civilization leaving them racing against the clock to save their own lives.</p>
