This superb novel, Meine Rache (My Revenge), is an extraordinary story of international intrigue and personal vindictiveness that begins with the experiences of two friends, caught up in the fervor of the Second World War and the promised resurgence of a superior German society. The revenge sought by the main characters in Meine Rache only becomes apparent after several decades, and following intricate interwoven relationships that extend from Europe to South America and into Africa. In the Republic of Zaire, their chance discovery of the lethal Ebola virus encourages them that they might finally satiate their vindictive appetites. Public health officials knew little about Ebola virus or control of its effects only that Ebola offered a single apparent probability-death of those infected. The challenge for the main characters focused on how to "harvest" a virus sample and deliver it to a clandestine laboratory in South America where they could develop a weapon to use against their former enemies. The story of these two expatriate Germans is unforgettable, with its rich word pictures and misguided but entertaining characters.
