The Satan Bug
“The price for uncovering the secret of the satan bug comes high - YOUR LIFE!”
A US government germ warfare lab has had an accident. The first theory is that one of the germs has been released and killed several scientists. The big fear is that a more virulent strain, named The Satan Bug because all life can be killed off by it should it escape, may have been stolen.
