“AJ Tata’s Mortal Threat reads at a blistering pace while weaving a cure for Ebola, a 30,000 year old religious document, a president who thinks he’s of divine origin, and a burgeoning ISIS threat into a tightly knit plot. Amanda Garrett is a new breakout heroine as she races across the Serengeti to save the cure from the evil men who seek it. Great stuff.”
—Jeremy Robinson, International Bestselling Author of ISLAND 731 and SECONDWORLD
“…captivating, riveting. Once you start MORTAL THREAT, you won’t want to put it down.”
—Grant Blackwood, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of The Briggs Tanner series
“When I’m not writing, I like to read, and I read books in my genre. I’m very choosy in my reading and there’s a lot to choose from. That’s why I like Tony Tata. There is a ‘been there, done that’ feel to his storytelling, his characters are vivid and engaging, and his plotting is tight and well-paced. So I highly recommend Mortal Threat and Foreign and Domestic.”
—Dick Couch, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of Act of Revenge
"Mortal Threat is tomorrow's news today! While some people working in the dramatic arts try to snatch stories from today's headlines, Tony Tata has fashioned a riveting plot with compelling characters that is also prescient. Mortal Threat grabs you, shakes you, and doesn't turn you loose."
—George Galdorisi, New York Times best-selling author of Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor
Medical school student Amanda Garrett and American doctors working secretly in Africa have found a cure for the Ebola and Human Immunodeficiency Viruses. Leaders of the Islamic State want the cure so they can show the world Islam is a benevolent religion that all Africans should follow. The President of the United States believes an alleged 30,000-year-old Sub-Saharan religious text called The Book of Catalyst identifies him as being of divine origin. As Amanda operates her portion of the clandestine CIA Project Nightingale in a Tanzanian orphanage, she is attacked and chased by brutal killers called The Leopard and The Cheetah. Amanda has 48 hours to escape across the Serengeti Plain before the remaining vials of the cure expire. The Islamic State escalates attacks across the Middle East using freshly converted fighters from Africa. The American President, however, chooses not to deploy sufficient troops to save U.S. Special Forces, including Amanda's husband, assisting in the air war against ISIS. As Amanda attempts to save the rapidly decomposing formula for the Ebola and HIV cures, she finds herself at the center of a clash between warring media titans, Jonathan Beckwith and Zhor al Rhazziq, who are following her every step toward the Olduvai Gorge, which some scientists claim to be the origin of human life.
