  <abstract>Kurt Austin puts the NUMA team on a case involving a hideous series of medical experiments, an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization, and a secret new virus that threatens to set off a worldwide pandemic.  In this eighth NUMA File novel, Kurt Austin and his National Underwater and Marine Agency Special Projects team return, squaring off with the elusive and dangerous Pyramid Triad organization of China in a race to acquire the antidote for a bizarre pandemic viral disease. The Triad wants the virus and the cure in order to hold the world hostage; only NUMA stands in the way of its apocalyptic machination.</abstract>
