In Containment, the gripping debut of the Robert Cook Spy Thriller series, a world teetering on the brink of a bioterrorism catastrophe finds its unlikely hero in Dr. Robert Cook. A brilliant microbiologist turned covert investigator, Cook is thrust into a high-stakes race against time as a deadly, genetically engineered bacterium begins ravaging unsuspecting victims in France and Russia.

When evidence points to Josef Karashvili, a brilliant but conflicted Georgian scientist, Cook must navigate the murky waters of international espionage and political intrigue. From the Caucasus Mountains to the bustling streets of Istanbul, and into the heart of Moscow’s political machinations, Cook’s mission is as personal as it is professional. As he delves deeper into Josef’s motivations and the geopolitical tensions surrounding Georgia’s independence, Cook uncovers a complex web of alliances, betrayals, and moral dilemmas.

Balancing cutting-edge science with heart-pounding action, Containment explores the ethics of bioterrorism, the resilience of the human spirit, and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom. Packed with vivid international settings, richly drawn characters, and a relentless pace, this spy thriller offers an authentic glimpse into the shadowy intersection of science and espionage.

As Cook races to prevent the outbreak from spiraling out of control, he forges an uneasy partnership with Josef, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation with Russian operatives, underground syndicates, and his own conscience. Will Cook succeed in containing the threat, or will humanity face an unstoppable epidemic?

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and Daniel Silva, Containment delivers a masterful blend of science, suspense, and international intrigue that will leave listeners eager for the next chapter in the series. Prepare for sleepless nights—you won’t want to stop listening!
