Library Man
Author: Cary R. Bybee

This book is a thriller unlike any ever written before. Just the mere plausibility of what is in this book is frightening to consider. The Library Man begins with a terrifying prologue of the actual events that led to the first outbreak of the dreaded Ebola virus. Chapter one takes us back in time to 1971 for a brief look at the condition of th... more »e United States during the Vietnam War. Quickly, my main character Victor Garcia finds himself in the middle of a deadly battle in the jungles of South Vietnam. Eventually, my hero comes home, but he is horribly saddened by the reception he is greeted with. Soon, he finds himself in Bethesda hospital suffering greatly from high Dioxin levels caused by Agent Orange. Swiftly, the book jumps forward in time to present day. Victor Garcia has been living on the streets of Washington DC for twenty-eight years. He has removed himself from God and from society, yet he spends all his spare time in public libraries where he pursues his passion for the study of virology. In Victor?s youth, while attending Berkeley, he studied microbiology, his desire was to someday work at the CDC, but unfortunately he was drafted before he could complete graduate school. Vic has been gifted by God with some unusual skills that he does not fully understand, such as a nearly flawless photographic memory, which later the world would be grateful for. It is at this time that a horrific terrorist plot is unveiled on the Monkey River in Belize. Soon, all of Central and South America, as well as the West Indies are infected by a mutated virus. This virus is heading for the States and nothing can stop it. In fact, the United Nations met secretly to decide how best to prevent this virus from making it to Europe and Asia. This is when an additional insidious plot is unveiled and the U.S. is now on the clock. Our main character, Vic has discovered this plague just prior to a mandatory black out by the President of the United States. With the help of a librarian at the Bethesda medical library, Vic begins to understand this new bloody killer. He eventually contacts the CDC, they in turn go to D.C. to find Vic and bring him back to Georgia to help them develop a vaccine before it is too late. Yet there are additional twists, someone in the CDC is responsible for the mutated virus, and soon Victor and the beautiful Christian woman he loves, the librarian from Bethesda are on the run from terrorists. In their possession is the only vaccine for this outbreak, which has by this time killed nearly a third of the population of the Americas. In addition to Victor Garcia is his estranged brother Rueben Garcia a minister from San Francisco. These two brothers have not seen each other for twenty-eight years because Reuben had been in and out of jail for most of his youth. Ironically, Reuben becomes a very godly man, yet now it is Vic who has turned his back on God out of anger and sorrow over all the young men who died under his command during the war. The plight of the homeless are unveiled in this drama, perhaps in a new light, hopefully softening the hearts of many who detest and ignore these unfortunate people. There are many beautiful moments in this story, along with numerous expressions that I believe will touch and minister to military veterans. Additionally, this is an extremely patriotic story. In the end it makes you proud to be an American.
