Synopsis

Medical school student Amanda Garrett and American doctors working secretly in Africa have found a cure for the Ebola and Human Immunodeficiency Viruses. Leaders of the Islamic State want the cure so they can show the world Islam is a benevolent religion that all Africans should follow. The President of the United States believes an alleged 30,000-year-old Sub-Saharan religious text called The Book of Catalyst identifies him as being of divine origin.As Amanda operates her portion of the clandestine CIA Project Nightingale in a Tanzanian orphanage, she is attacked and chased by brutal killers called The Leopard and The Cheetah. Amanda has 48 hours to escape across the Serengeti Plain before the remaining vials of the cure expire.The Islamic State escalates attacks across the Middle East using freshly converted fighters from Africa. The American President, however, chooses not to deploy sufficient troops to save U.S. Special Forces, including Amanda's husband, assisting in the air war against ISIS. As Amanda attempts to save the rapidly decomposing formula for the Ebola and HIV cures, she finds herself at the center of a clash between warring media titans, Jonathan Beckwith and Zhor al Rhazziq, who are following her every step toward the Olduvai Gorge, which some scientists claim to be the origin of human life.

Tata is a real military hero, a man who has actually been there and done that, and that's what really lends credence to a military thriller - when you know the person writing it has lived it.

Goodreads review by Brian's on January 11, 2018

Action Packed I was excited about this book when I read the synopsis and it didn’t let me down. I wasn’t sure how hard it was going to be to jump in four books into a series but it wasn’t bad at all. I’m not even sure which characters would be reoccurring in the other books but I did really enjoy it.......more

Goodreads review by Melanie on January 17, 2018

This is a great on the edge of your seat thriller by A. J. Tata that I could not put down once I started it. Such a great read and can be read as a standalone even though it is the fourth book in the Threat series. Medical student and American Doctor Amanda Garrett, along with a few other American d......more

This is the fourth in the Threat series by A.J.Tata but the first I have read. It reads well as a stand alone novel. This is a breathtaking fast-paced thriller with a complex and intriguing plot that could be ripped from today's headlines. The main focus is on Amanda Garrett, her mentor Dr.King, and......more

Goodreads review by Wendi on April 19, 2019

She has stumbled upon cures for HIV/AIDS and Ebola which seems to only work if used with a sticky black tar substance. Radical gr......more
