The Messiah Drug [Paperback]

During two mass immigrations from 1984 to 1991, thousands of Ethiopian Jews were permitted to flee persecution in their country and migrate to Israel. This is their story and how it could possibly save a nation from a plague. Israeli coastal towns suddenly experience a rash of severe flu-like symptoms. As those infected become gravely ill and die at an alarming rate, it becomes apparent that this is an epidemic. The plague is identified as a variant of Anthrax, a deadly disease used in chemical warfare. The nation of Israel is faced with total annihilation. With tens of thousands dead, and finding no antidote, the nation prays for a Messiah. The answer comes from a Falashian refugee named David Yasuda, who knows a secret: Hidden in a reclusive mountain valley in Ethiopia is a secret pool of miracle water. When the Mossad is refused admission into the country to search for it, a secret mission is launched. But someone knows they are coming and will stop at nothing to prevent the elite team from finding what they seek.
