Description: "In Gaithersburg, Maryland, lab technician Su Thom knows his company, SeaGenesis Pharmaceutical is nearing a cure for malaria. Though rarely seen in the United States, this deadly disease haunts the third world so that more people die from it than AIDS and that includes members of Su Thom's family. The firm abruptly halts the tests on the potential cure, dubbed "Popeye" because it looks like spinach though extracted from sea sponges. Angered and very frustrated, Su Thom decides to bring home the nightmare of malaria by cultivating the disease and releasing it in Washington, DC."--Amazon.com.
