Lifethreat (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530842223)

What if life wasn't going to end in some prophetic catastrophe, but rather slowly over time? This question lies at the heart of Author B. J. Meehan's apocalyptic mystery novel Lifethreat.

Al Jackson, project manager for the Federal Office of Health and Disease, must investigate why the number of pregnancies is suddenly dropping in Fall River, Massachusetts. The mystery thickens when he discovers men are becoming sterile at a rapid rate-and throughout the country. In the face of such a broad and complex mystery, Al is at a loss of answers.

His investigation leads him to a group named the United Antiabortion League, where activist Mary Alice Hennigan has suggested that God is sterilizing men to punish people for abortion. Soon, a new pro-life political movement named the New Life Party emerges, drawing more attention to the issue as concerns over a dwindling population spread across the country.

When Al finally stumbles upon a theory, he must race against time as unknown forces seek to discredit him. Will he find the proof he needs, or will humankind continue to slowly fade away?
