An ambitious attempt from a writer of abundant talent.&quot;</em></strong><em>Booklist </em>review of Armstrong's Fall 07 release<em> <a href="http://wwww.lasttroubadour.com">The Last Troubadour.</a></em><br />      </p></blockquote>      </blockquote>           <p> </p>What happens when an engineered virus, meant to virally &quot;cure&quot; psychopathically violent patents, is let loose by accident on the world? And what chance does the world have when a rescue organization named WART (World Advance Response Team) is our only hope? <br /><br />A virus of rage sweeps all nations with sometimes funny and sometimes scary results. Armstrong&rsquo;s latest Bane thriller (after The Game) satirizes in true &ldquo;Bane-style&rdquo; the medical virus thriller genre and zombie movies in one suspenseful but amusing sweep.&nbsp; Fans of &ldquo;brilliance in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways&rdquo; (Booklist) won&rsquo;t want to miss this adventure!<br /><br />Bane and Kenner must &ldquo;chase&rdquo; the rampaging virus around the world, from Venice to Hong Kong, hunting for a cure and the cause. Bane realizes the virus may be the work of an old &ldquo;nemesis&quot; and recruits a team of &quot;angels&quot; -- a mocking salute to Charlie's angels -- to rescue the world. The savvy doctor Kenner, playful pop star Panji, and the eccentric Mystere, a psychic who relies on her tarot cards for answers, are bizarre group of heroes &mdash; charming, witty, funny, and memorable.<br /><br />Half the world have become &quot;zombies of rage.&quot; Pharmaceutical giants, world leaders and regular law-enforcement agencies hamper Bane's effort to &quot;cure the world of violence.&quot; Don't miss this round-the-world adventure that offers equal measures of satire, thrills, suspense and comedy.<br /><br />]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.lasttroubadour.com/madicinethriller/rss-comments-entry-1209470.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
