Lethal Mutation

D. Gordon Johnston

Product Description

Dr. Stephen Gray, a scientist doing research for the Navy, stumbles onto a mutant bacterium from the intestine of a porpoise which produces a powerful toxin. It could cure cancer or, in the wrong hands, kill millions of people without damage to property. Easy to produce and transport, it is the ideal weapon of war. Gray, the woman he loves, his friends and co-workers all become targets for terrorists seeking to take control of his discovery.
