A decorated, dedicated, and brilliant US Army chemical-weapons expert and his estranged but equally brilliant insect-pheromone researcher of a son become unwary targets of an ultrasecret, renegade Communist Chinese spy plot masterminded by a diabolical genius who dreams and schemes of combining the two American's talents with his own in order to develop a new type of weapon that can induce hive-like obedience in masses of people-a weapon of mass mind control (WMC)! The father is stealthily drugged then abducted while the son is befriended and seduced to come to the remote far-west desert of northern China, where at a top secret compound known as Cell 12, their respective abilities will be tricked out of them to develop the ghoulish and inhuman pheromone-based chemical concoction to enslave minds but will instead become the biggest disaster to ever threaten mankind! Amid all the unnerving events and unfolding calamities leading up to the devastating climax, betrayals will crush friendships, and enemies will find love in this terrifyingly possible adventure science fiction!
