The document appears to contain excerpts from various sources discussing dangerous operations, biological weapons research, unrest and torture.

1. Burke was nervous. If he
were personally out on the
front lines of a dangerous
operation he would be
fine. But putting an
amateur into the
battlefield was grating on
his nerves.

2. And I saw a beast rising
up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten
horns, and on his horns
ten crowns, and on his
heads a blasphemous
name.
Revelation 13:1

3. The Curtain for Act I was
about to be drawn back.
Dr. Claire Stevens looked
at the azure sky and black
rippling waters of the
Aegean Sea as she
thought of their target
once more.

4. There was nowhere for
the crush of people to
run, though the sheep
being slaughtered tried
vainly to escape, creating
a riot of writhing,
screaming humanity.

5. No one could withstand
unrestrained torture.
Sooner or later, he—or
whatever was left of
him—would tell the
Colonel everything he
wanted to know.

6. Dazed, Burke still has his
fighter’s wits and landed
an elbow on the windpipe
of the man on his left
while he cranked a head
butt at the man to his
right.

7. In Greek mythology, the
Chimera combined parts
of the lion, goat, and
serpent to form a
monster. What better base
to build a biological three-
headed Chimera on than
Ebola?

8. The farmer looked up
through the break of
dawn to locate the sound
of an airplane engine. A
small cloud of orange
dust trailed behind it,
falling on his fields.

9. “I absolutely loved this
book. Incredibly vivid and
entertaining read that
kept the pages turning.
Very much looking
forward to the sequels!”

10. The world is dying before
our eyes and the ones who
can do something to save
it refuse to act. I have not
lost my courage. I will be
the Beast who destroys
the world to save it.

11. Patmos is a small, lightly
populated Greek island
in the Aegean Sea. It is
the place where the
Apostle John received
the Revelation of the
Christ.
