The Spanish Flu-1918 (eBook)

The Spanish Flu was a pandemic occurring mainly in the fall of 1918 and affecting most of America and Western Europe. In America it killed 675,000 but in Europe and worldwide 20-40 million souls died from the disease. It killed more persons than all the 20th century wars—World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Afghanistan. Years later the virus was found and made in a lab. It was stored in the CDC, the communicable disease center for the US. It is not known if the virus escaped from its safe locked laboratory by accident or if someone did it purposely. Dr. MacArthur Donne, a practicing internist in Austin, Texas was a man who, with his friend and sidekick, Jack Robey, liked to solve mysteries. His medical practice consisted of constant mysteries—was his patient’s abdominal pain an ulcer or angina? He had to do tests and take a good history and examine the patient carefully to find out, but on occasion he liked to get out of the office and take on something big. Not that he wasn’t busy, because he was in the middle of the second biggest romance in his life. Then an old friend called and asked him to investigate the escape of the deadly virus. What could he do? Mac and Jack go to Atlanta to save the world and solve the mystery of the deadliest virus ever, loose again in the world. To find out what happens, read The Spanish Flu 1918.
