Part of Sigma Force, book 16
First published 2022
A United Nations relief team discovers something terrifying in a Congolese village. The local population has been reduced to a mindless, cattle-like existence. Meanwhile, the surrounding plants and animals have become increasingly intelligent and predatory, evolving at an accelerated rate. This biological upheaval is spreading across Africa and threatens the entire globe. Commander Gray Pierce and his Sigma Force team must determine whether this phenomenon occurs naturally or represents an engineered attack. Their investigation takes them from Washington D.C. to the deepest African jungles as they search for answers. The team realizes they have become targets in this biological war. Pierce and his scientific warriors face their most dangerous mission yet as they attempt to uncover the truth behind this evolutionary reversal. The stakes could not be higher as Mother Nature appears to turn against humanity itself, threatening to transform the world into a savage zone where humans become prey.
