Set against the backdrop of WWI, the novel pits the brightest scientific minds of the day against a deadly secret. In an effort to bring an end to a war that has been raging for four years, Dr. Nicholas Wareing takes on a risky research project for the U.S. Army. He struggles to unravel the mystery of influenza at a time when viruses were not understood.

Why was the fall wave of the 1918 influenza virus so much more virulent than any pandemic before or after it? Why did it originate in and around U.S. army training camps? Why were the symptoms so bizarre? And why did it target healthy young adults and not small children and the elderly?

The novel ends in a bizarre twist of fate.
