Book number three of an eight book alternate history series.  I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in 2018 that I just bought on Amazon.  I am now reading book number four in the series as I have purchased several of the books now.
In an alternate universe, the USA split into two countries in 2018: the People's Republic (the west coast and the northeast) and the United States (flyover country).  Initially people can cross the lines easily but that gets more difficult as the years go on.
A long time ago, one of the old Soviet Bioweapons labs managed to combine Ebola and Rabies as super weapons that was incredibly infectious and a very high death rate.  Somebody has stolen the virus and the chief doctor and wants to use it to take the People's Republic and the new United States down even further.  So, Kelly Turnbull has been secretly loaned to the People' Republic secret police force to stop the people from using their bioweapon.
