Zustand: Good. Fact: our chromosomes contain billions of so-called "junk-DNA" sequences. Some are the intact genetic blueprints of ancient gene-alternating pathogens. Fact: Bioweapons designers are developing genetically engineered killer life-forms that are triggered by race - and ethnicity-related genes. Fact: DNA analysis shows that the human race has come extremely close to extinction in the past. One cause could have been a "slatewiper" - a lethal pestilence which nearly wiped the human slate clean. Fact: By the end of WWII, Japan's bio warfare arsenal was the most advanced in the world thanks to its inhumane medical experiments, which equalled those of the Third Reich. Lara Blackwood, genetic engineering entrepreneur and presidential advisor, receives a call from an old college friend who asks her help in solving a ghastly epidemic in Tokyo. That phone call sets in motion a chain of death and mayhem stretching from San Francisco to Washington, DC; from Amsterdam to Japan. To her horror, Lara discovers that her life's work has been perverted to produce a revolutionary new genetic weapon that kills by turning people's own chromosomes against them. Lara risks assassination to expose the conspiracy behind "Slatewiper" - before a nightmarish terrorist scheme threatens the entire human race with extinction.…
