The Devereaux Decision

A group of fanatics has created a virus that could wipe out humanity. Zora and Curtik, the bio-engineered cadets who were saved by Jeremiah Jones before they could annihilate Earth, are intent on redeeming themselves by finding and stopping the terrorists.
They go to work with an entire CINTEP team - including Ned Jefferson, Lendra Riley and Trogan Brosk - as they attempt to track down Susquehanna Sally. Will they succeed, and will they be in time? Or has the spread of the virus reached a tipping point, creating an unstoppable force? From Indonesia to London to Washington DC, the race is on to save humanity.
And there's another problem demanding attention: Walt Devereaux has been stricken by the virus too. Will they be able to save him as well? Eventually, Jeremiah is forced to come out of retirement and join in the efforts to save the world. But he is just a shell of his old self, decimated by the virus, no longer the near-invincible agent he once was.
As we finally learn Susquehanna Sally's identity, and what motivated her to become the world's most dangerous terrorist, a Chinese spaceship approaches the Escala colony on Mars and ignores all efforts to contact it. Aspen and her fellow cadets suspect that its inhabitants' intentions are hostile, while the peace-loving Escala don't seem concerned about enacting defensive measures. How far will Aspen go to protect them?
