A lethal germ is unleashed in the U.S. mail. A chain of letters
spreads terror from Florida to Washington, D.C., from New York to
Connecticut, from the halls of Congress to the assembly lines of
the U.S. Postal Service. Five people die, and ten thousand more
line up for antibiotics to protect against exposure. The
government, already outsmarted by the terrorist hijackers of 9/11,
leaves its workers vulnerable and a diabolical killer on the loose.
Based on hundreds of hours of interviews and a review of
thousands of pages of government documents, "The Killer Strain is
the definitive account of the year in which bioterrorism became a
reality in the United States. Revealing the little-known victims
and unsung heroes in the anthrax debacle, investigative reporter
Marilyn Thompson also examines the FBI's slow-paced investigation
of the crimes and the unprecedented scientific challenges posed by
the case.
"The Killer Strain, more than just a thrilling read, is also a
clarion wake-up call. It shows how billions of dollars and a decade
of elaborate bioterror dress rehearsals meant nothing in the face
of a real attack -- and how we may still be at risk.
