Synbat Book

Following his acclaimed novels Eyes of the Hammer and Dragon SIM-13, Bob Mayer takes us again into the world of Special Forces, and this time Chief Warrant Officer Dave Riley and his team of Green Berets must defeat a threat shockingly inhuman. Set in the shadowy world of genetic research, SYNBAT is imaginative and nerve-racking - a thrilling read you will never forget. Riley and his A-team are called up for "damage control" at a laboratory in the remote hills of western Tennessee. The research done there, funded by the Pentagon's "Black Budget," is top-secret - until the subjects of the experiment escape the lab. The "SYNBATs" (synthetic battle forms) are now stalking the countryside, acting out their bioengineered genetic urges with ruthless efficiency. The Green Berets follow the SYNBATs' bloody trail from rural Tennessee to the urban sprawl of Chicago. In a climax guaranteed to set the heart pounding, Riley and a gutsy woman cop attempt to stop the Pentagon's unholy creations once and for all. "Black projects" are exempt from normal controls and hidden from public scrutiny. SYNBAT presents a disturbing scenario, but one based on fact. It may be happening today.
