Secret of the Were-Virus

Welcome to the WikiNovel  Were-Animal Saga Start Reading>>



Overview: An outbreak of a virus that can transfer genes from animal to animal causes strange permutations in whoever is infected. The infected animals range across multiple species, and people infected by the bite of any of them can within days turn into a were-creature, a monster that looks like a cross between the biting animal and the bitten person. Such is the devastation and shock that the discovery of this phenomenon can cause, that it has been labelled as classified. The Harper family, Ranger Montgomery, and Officer McPherson, caught up in this dangerous maelstrom, must find a workable cure for not only the people infected by the virus, but also locate and clean up the virus, wherever in the world it may be. Along the way, they must face off with terrible dangers and uncover dark secrets.

Comments
I would really like to see this hit the silver screen, and I hope it would be filmed on location in the actual Porcupine Mountains. Ylfowvitfb 02:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
