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.
