Synopsis

Lords of Circumstance is a story of tragedy and redemption that spans two generations, extraordinarily connected by the whims of fate. It examines the shrinking proximity of unspeakable disaster that we all suppress for the sake of sanity. Between the Korean War and the killing fields of Vietnam, the Cold War Era becomes a proving ground for increasingly complex, engineered viruses. While the world focuses on nuclear threats, our enemies are rapidly developing alternative methods of achieving world domination. One man has peeked inside Pandora's Box and discovered a soulless aggressor. On the opposite side of the world, the lives of best friends Matt Garrett and Bill Hunter follow widely divergent paths after high school, only to be reunited as adults in pursuit of a common goal. With the formation of the elite, U.S. government "LOC" team, the characters are swept up in a global effort to locate the ultimate biological weapon, developed by a Russian scientist whose research was decades ahead of its time. Deadly secrets lead to incredible revelations, leaving us to question the tenuous fabric of our daily lives.
