Synopsis: SYNOPSIS
BEADS OF DEATH



BEADS OF DEATH is a suspense-thriller that begins with a series of terrorist incidents utilizing first chemical, next biological, and finally a black-market nuclear weapon. The purpose of the white supremacist terrorist organization perpetrating these attacks is to cleanse the world of “mud people”. The organization, called the SUPREME BEING SEVEN MILITIA, wants to cause a doomsday war between nations that possess weapons of mass destruction. They believe rural white AMERICA will survive such a war. After perpetrating numerous small scale chemical and biological terrorist attacks, they go for the ultimate by setting off a black-market nuclear device in Mumbai, India, calculated to provoke nuclear war with Pakistan. It almost has the desired effect as the whole world is thrown into turmoil reminiscent of the Cuban missile crises.

The worldwide turmoil caused by a black-market nuclear device is the last straw for DR. FRANCIS X. CARROLL, AKA DR. X., renowned genetic engineer and creator of the world's most effective antibiotic. He is also one of the world's leading anti-WMD war activists. Out of self-righteous anger, he releases a virulent new air born germ of his parentage on the unsuspecting populations of countries he considers responsible for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The germ unleashed imitates most of the symptoms of radiation sickness and is designed for its dramatic impact that will allow DR. X. to blackmail the world into destroying all weapons of mass destruction. DR. F. X. CARROLL will offer the world an antidote in exchange for the destruction of all such weapons.

As the epidemic spreads DR MARSCH WASHINGTON, a top epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and his associate DR. ELLEN JONES, are assigned to the case of this disease. WASHINGTON, who is in charge of the investigation, suspects from the time he isolates the germ and can observe it under a microscope that it is a manmade virus. It's composition of proteins; spikes, keys, locks and other components of a virus that appears to have manmade aspects indicate this to him. His boss DR. SCOTT disagrees with his theory and WASHINGTON resigns rather than be part of an alternate theory that serves DR. SCOTT'S bureaucratic purposes more than the truth. WASHINGTON decides to find the culprit himself.

With the help of Dr. Jones’ passwords, he hacks into computer data banks and is able to narrow the search down to DR. F. X. CARROLL.

After unsuccessfully trying to catch Dr. X red handed, Washington decides to confront him with his probable culpability. When he does confront DR. CARROLL, he is teased, charmed and blackmailed into becoming DR. CARROLL'S unwilling accomplice. Together they succeed in CARROLL'S objective of blackmailing the world into destroying weapons of mass destruction.

In a most horrific ending, Dr. X. succeeds in evading humiliating capture by blowing up the terrorists and his self simultaneously without harming the klutzy cops.
