"The human race is still grappling for ways how to counter the lethal impact of COVID-19, and by the time we found the cure, it may evolve again into something else that is more pathogenic, evasive and transmissible."COVID: Black Death 2.0 is a novel on how the Coronavirus disease originated and became the pandemic that changed the world as we know it today. The more than 50 million cases and at least a million deaths in just 9 months, which kept on increasing rapidly as days gone by, make us wonder if indeed this is just a naturally-occurring international epidemic or an artificially-induced genocide.Although the novel is a work of fiction with the usual element of thrill, action and suspense, but the plot was inspired by actual happenings. The narrative was written like a scientific treatise but in an easy and conversational manner. Anytime, the reader may refer to online resources to validate the concepts being presented.From Patient Zero case investigation to SARS-CoV-2 strain isolation, the 2019-nCoV outbreak was presented with in-depth treatment within the point of views of the World Health Organization, government policy makers, the medical practitioners and the ordinary people.The works of front liners were highlighted, especially the scientists involved in coming up with the COVID-19 vaccine. The tedious and risky process of formulating the cure will make people of various nationalities appreciate the sacrifices of our pandemic heroes.All the while, the way world leaders like Donald Trump and Xi Jinping handled the crisis affected significantly their respective population's responses and survivability from the virus. Aside from the United States and China, other countries also grapple with the surge in COVID-19 cases and fatalities that gravely affected their socio-political and economic way of life.Real-life events were reflected in a manner that a unified Al-Qaeda/Islamic State took advantage of the ongoing global health crisis in reinvigorating its jihadist cause for dominance and the reestablishment of a caliphate. Specifically, the COVID-19 altered the way the ongoing War on Terror is being executed by the U.S., NATO and other Coalition forces. Seldom could anyone find a book that portrays a balanced view of mainstream Islamic dogmas with that of AQ/ISIS convictions.The story unfolded when a mutated Coronavirus from HCoV-229E subspecie was discovered by a University of Cambridge doctorate student in Genetics from a 14th-century Black Death victim and brought to Wuhan Institute of Virology for comparative study on SARS-related diseases and formulation of its cure.But a rogue yet brilliant scientist stole the virus and, with the help of two deadly assassins, tested its potency in China, Europe and America, which led to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the world in total disorder, the Khalifa, disguised as a politically-influential industrial mogul in the United States, teamed-up with the scientist who was able to upgrade the level of evasiveness, transmissibility and pathogenicity of the hybrid virus by genetic engineering, the resultant super bioweapon getting deadlier with the infusion of the ricin poison.The multi-billionaire Sheikh of the Slaughterers and his Caliphate Army of federated Al-Qaeda/ISIS terrorists acquired the weapons to compel the United Nations to recognize his global hegemony. Failure to abide on his terms would mean worldwide jihad and 21st-century Black Death where the enemy is silent, unseen and unforgiving.The intended catastrophe will start with the infection, poison and death of at least 18 million inhabitants of Arizona, California, and Nevada served by a ricin-poisoned and coronavirus-contaminated Lake Mead water treatment facilities. With the Hoover Dam on the verge of being busted by a W80 thermonuclear weapon, the Khalifa's Operation Zulfiqar can bring back to wasteland the American West for generations to come.
