An FBI agent fights to stop a conspiracy to unleash a deadly virus on the world in The Extinction Agenda, Michael Laurence's propulsive and exhilarating thriller. The discovery of a deadly virus being smuggled across the border pits FBI Special Agent James Mason and his strike force against an unknown adversary hell-bent on humanity's destruction. In a desperate effort to contain the pathogen, they launch a predawn raid, only to find that their enemy knows they're coming...and it's not about to be taken alive. An explosion rips through the building, killing the majority of Mason's team, including his partner and mentor. Unable to shake his survivor's guilt, Mason can't stop replaying the events of the tragedy. He remembers seeing something inside the building before it went up in flames that convinces him that the virus is still out there. Obsessed with unraveling the plot, Mason launches his own investigation and uncovers a man who's been photographed at the epicenter of seemingly every historical pandemic -- without appearing to age. A sinister being who attempts to derail Mason's efforts by murdering his wife. Now, driven by the promise of vengeance, Jason's hunt for the enemy will lead him from a dark union at the dawn of the twentieth century to a network of Nazi collaborators to a deep-state entity known only as The Thirteen...before all hope for survival is lost.
