Assignment Tokyo

Description: 48 hours to live.. that's what the world had left. There was only one man who could change the timetable─Sam Durell . . . A small,innocent-looking container had been washed ashore in the little Japanese fishing village of Hatashima. Except it was not so innocent. It contained the hideous results of successful scientific research─a bit of biological warfare gone astray. The curious fisherman who'd opened it did not live long enough to discover what he'd caught. And so it started─a deadly plague that threatened all life on earth. So far only one person had survived the disease. A frightened girl who was totally unaware that she carried in her lovely young body the precious secret of immunity. Now she had vanished without trace, and Sam Durell found himself heading up the most macabre womanhunt in history . . . **From Back Cover Blurb**
