"Dr. Josephine Dyer, or Jo, is a Microbiology Professor at NCU. While she was in graduate school she made a discovery that in the wrong hands could destroy the entire population of our planet and now someone stole it. When we first meet the professor she has been studying her personally discovered germ and its unique properties for five years. She has made great progress and her research is almost complete when her lab is blown up and her work is stolen. She thinks all is lost when in walks the handsome, new Fire Inspector of Northern Falls. After taking one look at Jo, he’s smitten. He vows to find out who’s behind the theft and to return her research, safe and sound. The two of them set out on a mission that they’ll never forget. Together, with the help of some friends, they must survive car bombs, grifters, gunfire, landmines, arm’s dealers, nudists, runaway carriages and more. This is a nonstop adventure with nary a dull moment."
