In the latest installment of the Real Hero series, Dave Anderson faces a new kind of threat when agricultural scientists begin dying under mysterious circumstances. What starts as an investigation into suspicious deaths quickly escalates into a race against time to prevent a sophisticated biological weapon from devastating the world’s food supply. The case forces Dave to confront new limitations as he discovers his enhanced abilities can be affected by the very weapon he’s trying to stop.
After his experience with the quantum computing crisis, Dave has been expanding his capabilities through intensive martial arts training, learning to be effective even when his powers are compromised. This training is put to the test as he and his team track a shadowy organization using Soviet-era research facilities to develop a devastating fungal agent capable of destroying crops on a massive scale.
The investigation takes the team from Kansas farmlands to Moroccan facilities to the Ukrainian steppes, building toward a confrontation at an abandoned Soviet research complex in Kazakhstan. Along the way, Dave must adapt to fighting without relying solely on his enhanced abilities, while racing to prevent a weapon that could give its creators control over the global food supply. The stakes are higher than ever, as failure would mean worldwide agricultural devastation.
