LOADED AND LETHAL—A LIVING TIME BOMB LOOSE IN THE WESSEX COUNTRYSIDE . . .Charlie is a specimen chimpanzee maintained by the Ministry of Defence for dubious experimental purposes. Soon after he has been injected with a devastating plague bacillus, he escapes. At first an innocent wanderer under summer skies, in only twenty-one days he will become infectious, and a population of millions will then be in hideous danger.Discreetly the authorities mount a full-scale search; but fearing the political and international consequences, they dare not reveal the sordid truth. As a result the search is compromised at every turn, while risks and tensions mount—to the very dawn of doomsday.
