Reseña del libro "Free, and Free To Kill (en Inglés)"
What is the secret that the US authorities will go to any length to protect? A secret, that if revealed, could possibly bankrupt the USA with compensation claims from around the world. Why did the AIDS virus, a known African animal disease, strike the USA so disproportionately? Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal still had ties to former colonies with thousands of their citizens visiting Africa every year both on business and as tourists. Yet the USA, with less than 1% of the population even holding a passport, had ten times as many victims at the outbreak of the AIDs virus. The virus was virtually unreported in the human population of Africa until arriving as an epidemic from outside the continent. Surely, this demonstrates that the disease in its present-day form originated in the USA? But how? And why? And why did two strains of the disease coincidentally appear simultaneously?This well-researched novel strives to answer these puzzling questions.Two long-term prisoners undergoing medical trials are unexpectedly released into the community, where they unwittingly commence infecting the general public. The authorities are desperate to stop the spread of infection any way they can and the released men soon discover that dark forces are on their trail. Pete Taylor acquires a new identity and escapes to Africa in an attempt to shake his pursuers, but the secret he holds means he must constantly be looking over his shoulder.Marlon Benjamin hastily leaves San Francisco after an attempt on his life and settles in Rochester, New York. After a second abortive attempt on his life with tragic results he is left with but one thought on his mind - revenge. With the assistance of old gang members he sets about settling scores with the people responsible.Meanwhile, the disease continues to wreak havoc on the lives of ordinary folk.The author utilises his considerable experience of living in the USA and Africa to bring to life the areas where the action takes place. Although a work of fiction, the true facts listed in the narrative concerning the numbers infected, the spread of the disease, etc, leave the reader with an uncomfortable feeling, especially an America reader.
