FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fact or Fiction? Upcoming Thriller Library Man Set Against Backdrop of Worldwide Bioterrorism

LEBANON, OR, Feb. 09, 2003 -- In perhaps the most timely example yet of art imitating life, Cary R. Bybee, author of the bestselling apocalyptic fiction series The Last Gentile Trilogy (www.lastgentilebooks.com), has written a new novel depicting a deadly mutated virus on the loose, global conspiracies, terrorism and the threat of U.S. annihilation. Library Man (Bybee Books, ISBN 0-9744398-9-4, $16.95), slated for release in April 2004, is a cautionary tale that doesn’t seem nearly far-fetched enough in today’s world of global unrest.

Library Man’s title character is a homeless veteran with deep emotional scars from his violent tour of duty in Vietnam 30 years ago. Victor Garcia lives on the streets of our nation’s capital, spending his days in the libraries of Washington, D.C. Gifted with a photographic memory that has enabled him to acquire a deep understanding of viruses, Victor stumbles upon the cure for the supervirus that is quickly killing millions around the world. The reluctant hero is recruited by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), where he uncovers the true cause of the lethal pandemic. With the fate of the country hanging in the balance, Victor finds himself running for his life. If he is to save millions of lives--and his own neck--Victor must find a way to conquer his demons and learn to trust.

“After 9/11, Americans are painfully aware that we are vulnerable, we can be hurt,” Bybee said. “The virus outbreak described in Library Man is plausible, just as in the Dark Ages mankind was nearly wiped out by plagues. It could happen again, but how would the world react today to a country with an out-of-control epidemic, a virus with no known cure? Library Man is a story of heroism, courage and love, but even beyond that, I think the book really causes the reader to think about the what-ifs.”

Library Man is available now on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. Those interested in review copies should contact Bybee Books, LLC.
