Pocken – A Brazos Steele Adventure

The Western Front 1917 – The Germans and their allies prepare to launch a series of biological weapons against the British in a desperate attempt to break the trench stalemate and win the war, but an unexpected turn of events prevents them from doing so. More than a century later, these same weapons are discovered near a military cemetery in France – with deadly consequences. Five thousand miles across the ocean, a Houston police lieutenant and her team execute a routine drug bust and unwittingly stumble upon a cache of biological agents that are strangely similar to those found in France. Is there a connection? Brazos Steele is called in to investigate and soon finds himself face-to-face with a megalomaniacal Mexican businessman and an unlikely Islamic extremist with nothing to lose and who will stop at nothing to unleash his hellish scourge on America. As a chain of events unfolds that ultimately sets the stage for a disaster of epic proportions, Steele must act quickly – for failure is not an option. Packed full of startling historical revelations, unexpected plot twists, and spine-tingling action, Pocken will prove to be a thrill ride from start to finish.
