Spiral: a novel
by Paul McEuen
At the end of World War II. Liam Connor witnesses the terrors of a biological weapon produced by the Japanese Army's Unit 731. The aging Connor is tortured for the secret of the doomsday weapon. But Connor jumps off a bridge to his death before he is forced to reveal the secret. Connor's granddaughter, great grandson, and a fellow researcher are now targets of the group hoping to use the weapon. However the weapon is too dangerous to use without an antidote. Did Connor produce an antidote? Will its discovery allow the weapon to be used? The novel blends historical information with a look at modern technology. Some reviewers see McEuen as the new Michael Crichton. Good beach read.
