Dreams of Troy
by Richard P. Wenzel
An explosion at the main railway station in Barcelona rattles the city, the first strike in a complex and increasingly devastating terror plot. When scores of patients with no physical trauma require hospitalization, MI-5 agent Elizabeth Foster turns to trusted colleagues Jake Evans, a Stanford University epidemiologist, and Christopher Rose, an Oxford microbiologist and technology expert, to reveal the true nature of the threat: cyber terror. The team of experts chase clues and conspirators through Barcelona’s beaches and back alleys. But will they successfully dismantle the plot before it brings down Spain’s medical infrastructure, threatening visiting dignitaries, innocent civilians, and peace throughout the Mediterranean?

Richard Wenzel, MD, MSc, is emeritus Chairman and Professor of the Department of Internal Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Medical Center in Richmond, VA, and former President of the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) Physicians, a clinical practice for more than 600 doctors. Since 2001, he has been Editor-at-Large of The New England Journal of Medicine. These posts reflect the dual paths of Wenzel’s career in medicine: research-driven exploration of infectious microbes and the thoughtful treatment of the people they impact. Wenzel now pursues the volatile intersection of these two worlds in his medical terror-fiction book series, Terror Trifecta, which follows the work of three renowned experts who meet at ground zero of some of the world’s most complex terror plots.
