In the course of September, America will always bear in mind the anniversary of a terror attack which altered the globe forever. On that fateful day, September 11, 2001, most individuals can image where they had been with vivid clarity. Our mouths hung agape as we watched commercial airliners turn into steered missiles-flown into the Globe Trade Towers and the Pentagon. Do most folks recall the events of early January 2009 with such alacrity? Most likely not…

On January 19, 2009, The Washington Occasions carried a story of how an al-Qaeda camp was closed when unconventional weapons experimentation went awry. Sources differ as to what exactly occurred in early January-intercepted communications allude to a breach of a sealed area and biological experimentation claiming the lives of 40 al-Qaeda operatives. The United States has recognized for two decades that al-Qaeda has been pursuing biological weaponry and reports have concluded that they are organized and determined to do so. Although some dismiss the American invasion of Iraq as motivated merely by oil interests, several forget that then Secretary of State Colin Powell referred to Abu Musa Zarqawi’s development of ricin in Northern Iraq as component of his justification to invade Iraq.

What would occur if a country decided to manufacture a deadly biological weapon – and then dangle the threat of its release as a warning in an attempt to blackmail the globe? Paul McKellips writes of just such a scenario is in his incredible fictional thriller, Uncaged.

Two military pros, a veterinary professional in infectious diseases and a navy commando-turned-physician, turn out to be embroiled in a race against time to subvert the spread of Malak al-Maut-the Angel of Death-a deadly mixture of Bubonic Plague and the Ebola virus. Sadly, the political tide of America has turned violent against using animals in medical investigation-prompting a moratorium against animal analysis and stringent reduction in the number of animals study facilities could utilize. As the Angel of Death reaches America’s shores, it will be decisions to disobey orders that will inevitably bring help in the midst of chaos.

Uncaged is a mile a minute, breathtaking thriller. With no attempting to unduly vaunt this terrific book, I could not put it down. The characters are developed sensibly with out the tired clichés of which I have come to expect in so significantly contemporary fiction. Real issues are confronted in this incredible work such as the necessity of animal research and reality of biological terrorism.

If you are searching for a fascinating story that will grip you from the 1st couple of pages – you will want to read Uncaged. If you are at all bothered by the likelihood of biological terrorism – you want to read Uncaged. There is hope for a resolution-discover plausible truth therein.
