The Living Death by Jon Messman

The Living Death

by Jon Messman

A new kind of enemy. A new kind of destruction. 

As Nick Carter becomes the decoy in a deadly game of biological warfare.

The Target: The best scientific minds in the world.

The Weapon: Secret, undetectable, and always fatal.

Seven of the world's most brilliant scientists had suddenly become vegetables. Living dead men whose brains had been butchered by an unknown source. This was a new enemy. Experimenting with germ warfare. Doing its horrifying work with brutal effectiveness. It was Nick Carter's job to find out who was behind this terror. Even if it meant using himself as bait for an unseen opponent whose lethal discoveries might well condemn him to The Living Death.

As usual Nick Carter was prepared for action and primed to kill, But this time killing was the easy part. The action was something else. It came in the form of an English Blonde, a stacked sexual Italian, and a sultry Swiss packages that could drive any man wild or out of his mind. Or in the case of Nick, give him a definite head start towards certain death.
