About This Book

A dystopian tale centers on an engineered virus developed by a military bacteriologist that spreads without regard for allegiance, producing unpredictable immunity and catastrophic effects. The state enforces ruthless containment—executions, quarantines, and aerial bombardments—while condemned prisoners confront the scientist and debate guilt, providence, and the probabilistic logic behind his work. Through scenes of official brutality, laboratory procedure, and philosophical exchange, the narrative examines the unintended consequences of weaponized biology, questions of moral responsibility for creators, and the clash between technological control and human belief.
