Helvetian Apocalypse Victor Gerard Gian

This story is set in the near distant future. Global warming has continued unabated with disastrous effects on the planet. Almost simultaneously,a number of things happen which will have a profound effect on the future and on mankind's chances of survival in a world as we know it. A Swiss climbing expedition on Mount Everest makes a serendipitous discovery following a near disaster. Halfway across the world, in two highly secure laboratories, the world's last smallpox virus is set for destruction. Furthermore, Nazi gold, lost after the second world war is rumored to have surfaced once again and is being used to further the goals originally embraced by the Third Reich. These three, seemingly unrelated, events are set on a collision course that will land them in the lap of Dr. Dennis St. George of the Centers for Disease Control. He will be plunged into a maelstrom which will threaten to destroy him and all he holds dear, and it is only with the help of an expatriate New Zealand climber and his Tibetan companion, that he, and millions of others, will stand a chance of survival.
