Novel takes realistic look at biological attack on U.S. city
**** Chemical or biological warfare inflicted through our everyday routines is the nightmare that many Americans dread even more than a horrific terrorist attack like 9/11 or a military assault of our shores.
Dr. Terry Rivers, who grew up in Grove Hill, and writes as "T. N. Rivers" calls upon his career as an emergency care physician and as a U.S. Army Reserve medical officer and flight surgeon who has seen duty in Iraq and other areas of the Middle East to pen a realistic take on bioterror warfare as his first effort at novel writing. His storyline resembles the political thrillers and technically detailed espionage tales of bestseller novelist Tom Clancy. Dr. Ron Raines and nurse Christie Fellows work tirelessly to try and save the lives of citizens. FEMA, the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Marine Chemical and Biologic Incident Response Force and other civilian and military agencies strive to contain the threat and to find an antidote to stop the germ's killing rampage. President Jack Lunsford ("He had been a Marine pilot and he always would be") and others worked in the aftermath to find and punish the guilty and to restore the balance of world power. The Jihad Germ is a riveting, fast-paced story, frighteningly real because it really could happen.
Dr. Rivers is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Rivers of Grove Hill. He will be at City Drugs in Grove Hill beginning at 2 p.m. Friday, March 28 autographing copies of The Jihad Germ. Copies of the book are available at the store.
