About this listen

Michael Kough is an Australian virologist and degenerate loser who accidentally discovers a cure for the common cold. And a vaccine to neutralize all the world’s deadly viruses.

He becomes the richest man in the world. And the most hunted.

Dictators, multi-national drug companies and global criminal gangs circle like vultures for a chance to steal the secret to his Holy Grail of virus control.

His life becomes a wild ride. He is kidnapped and tortured and imprisoned in his escapades to protect the formula of his trillion-dollar discovery. A formula he keeps locked inside his Big Brain. A formula he concocted in a U.S. germ warfare laboratory.

Amid the turmoil, he meets the love of his life, Charlotte, a beautiful Chinese woman and a suspected foreign intelligence agent.

Despite his genius, Kough is a flawed character: A gambling addict who lost his first wife, home and career playing roulette. Now he faces a new challenge for survival to stay ahead of a murderous pack of enemies.
