Along the way, I&#8217;ve been reminded repeatedly just how horrific it would be if international terrorists released a new and deadly genetically altered form of the smallpox virus.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the text, I&#8217;ve been revising the cover art, too. It wouldn&#8217;t do to release a new edition without giving readers the ability to quickly distinguish this new version from the old one. So I have been spending some quality time with Photoshop lately, and this is the result.<\/p>\n<p>I think it gets the idea across that all is not well in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Never fear though. Dr. Peyton McKean, &#8220;The Greatest Mind Since Sherlock Holmes,&#8221; is on the case. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll think of something\u2014that is, if the Jihad Virus doesn\u2019t kill him first!<\/p>\n<p>With the new cover in hand and a finished draft of the text (as of last night!), all that remains is to proofread one more time, and then put the whole thing together as a new ebook edition and a paperback version as well.<\/p>\n<p>Timeframe? I\u2019m thinking it will hit the shelves about one month from now. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How horrific it would be, if international terrorists released a new and deadly genetically altered form of the smallpox virus! <a href=\"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/26\/updating-the-jihad-virus-cover\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,5],"tags":[66,226,53,240,281,5],"class_list":["post-1600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-author","category-peyton-mckean","tag-ebook","tag-medical-thriller","tag-mystery","tag-new","tag-paperback","tag-peyton-mckean"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1600"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1600\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2955,"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1600\/revisions\/2955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thomas-hopp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
