Deep in a secret, underground laboratory, a group of scientists find themselves in danger. Achieving cutting-edge breakthroughs in genetic engineering, they have created powerful viruses, the likes of which the world has never seen. But their creations have the power to turn on them-and do. The scientists work for the U.S. military, developing biological weapons in direct violation of federal and international law. But while these dedicated men and women create microscopic monsters, they work even harder to develop antidotes to stop them. Some monsters can't be contained, though. Or stopped. When an accident unleashes Keres' Eyes, Craig Leland, commander of the laboratory, and his team watch helplessly as the virus kills one of their own. They reel, struggling to come to grips with their loss. But their nightmare is just beginning, and all is not as it seems. In a race against time, with no way out, Craig must fight for his team's survival-and the woman he secretly loves.
