About The Book:
Vector by Robin Cook is a fast-paced and intense thriller that delves into the world of biological weapons and their deadly potential. The story follows Yuri Davydov, a disillusioned Russian émigré living in New York City. Once a technician in the Soviet biological weapons program (Biopreparat), Yuri holds the dangerous knowledge to wreak havoc. Feeling betrayed by the American system, he plots an act of vengeance, starting by experimenting with his girlfriend and a few unsuspecting passengers.

Meanwhile, in the city's Medical Examiner's Office, Dr. Jack Stapleton and Dr. Laurie Montgomery, forensic pathologists, start witnessing strange cases. A healthy woman dies of respiratory failure, and a Greek immigrant succumbs to a sudden, overwhelming pneumonia. The two are pushed by their superiors to focus on a high-profile case involving the mysterious deaths of prisoners in police custody. However, Jack begins to connect these incidents and suspects they are linked to a larger plot.

As Jack and Laurie dig deeper, they are drawn into a race against time, trying to unravel the puzzle before Yuri unleashes a biological weapon that could devastate New York City. Vector is a gripping exploration of modern biotechnology and the chilling possibilities of bioterrorism, crafted with Robin Cook's signature skill for blending medical science with thrilling suspense.
