Synopsis: "A little over six months ago, a small town in North Carolina ceased to exist. The incident was presented to the media as a fertilizer plant explosion. The truth was much scarier. ARMA, a secret, privately funded technology company, created a virus, Judas, for the purpose of marketing another product labeled "The End of War." It was a smart bomb, no bigger than a lapel pin, aptly named the Judas Kiss. Head of ARMA, Tom Hendricks, chose a small town as a testing ground for the new weapon. The plan was to infect a small group of residents and unleash the bomb, which held pinpoint accuracy and eliminated the threat of innocent casualties. Hendricks's pitch was that the bomb would eradicate the virus, and it would never spread from the small town. He was wrong." — quoted from this book's product page on Amazon as of 2018-05-12.
