Synopsis "A Tortuous Trail"

Among the most sinister aspects of WW11 was the rush by all parties to develop chemical and biological weapons. Towards the end of the Pacific War, the American spy organization, the OSS( Office of Strategic Services) discovered a Japanese laboratory located in a remote part of China involved in the development of such weapons. Hideously they were using locals as human guinea pigs in their search for new weapons and had succeeded in developing the most virulent and the fastest acting biological weapon ever known. As the war was drawing to a close the American President feared Japan may use this weapon to kill Millions of Americans in a last ditch effort to win the war. He ordered an elite force to capture this laboratory and secure this development. The elite force did capture the laboratory but to the horror of the President, reported the formula was no longer there. It had been stolen. The President mandated that the best possible man be sent to find the formula. It was recognized by his War Cabinet the skills necessary for such a mission were very rare and the candidate would be faced with lethal danger at every twist and turn of this trail. His chances of surviving this mission were slim. Nevertheless it had to be attempted. The candidate would encounter a tortuous trail.
