Waters of Destiny — Ian Watson

Ancient Plague as a Bio-Weapon.

A cult of assassins living on as modern day Terrorists.

Could a scrap of medieval poetry really hold the key to saving an unsuspecting world from the grip of deadly pandemic? Canadian historian Abigail Leclaire has no idea of the danger she faces as she attempts to learn more of a 14th century poet and solve the riddle of a few tantalising lines of verse. Soon she becomes the focus of attention from both the CIA and other, darker forces. Without fully realising the implications, she finds herself in a race against time to stop the lethal outbreak of worldwide pestilence.

In this stunning novel, award winning author Ian Watson teams up with scientist and author Andy West to deliver a breathless blend of conspiracy theory, techno-thriller, historical fiction and the Da Vinci Code, telling an all too convincing tale of deceit, murder, and cataclysmic events that reach from the distant past to threaten all of our tomorrows.

An omnibus edition that combines both ""Assassins' Legacy"" and ""Assassins' Endgame"" under one cover.
