Deadline Rising - Ian Shaw - Bog

Dr Patrick Galloway has created a revolutionary serum that sterilises female mammals, forever. If it falls into the wrong hands, the potential for bio-terrorism and extortion on a grand scale is huge. Intended for pest control, the serum has a more sinister capability - it can be used on endangered species and, ultimately, humans. When Paddy Galloway, the creator of the serum, disappears, his oldest friend Captain Peter Corbett, (Blue), sets out to find him in a life or death quest. The action takes us via London, Lexington, Nairobi, Tanzania, New Zealand and New York. Finally to Southern France where Paddy has been held captive in a medieval chateau in the heart of the Languedoc by two South African paramilitary - Danie du Plessis and Gert Botha; a French mercenary, Andre Ducat; a French Scientist, Mme Juliette Pelletier, and their paramilitary support crew. With a deadline fast rising, Blue has to rescue Paddy, save two threatened colonies of endangered species, and, most critically - destroy the human serum.
