| John Clarck works in 'Rainbow', a secret counter-terrorism unit. Soon after they set-up in their head-quarters, they are called to end a seizure in Bern. They manage to free everybody there.
In the meantime, some people at Horizon are working on a virus code-named ‘Ebola Shiva'. Together with a ‘vaccine' it should kill all people in the world, except some people at Horizon. Some weeks after the incident in Bern, there is another one in Vienna, also with hostages. And, again, Rainbow kills all terrorists and frees the hostages. Some time after that, there is a mission in Spain at a theme park, where terrorists have took some children as hostages. This time there is one civilian loss, a little Dutch girl. Popov, who was behind the first two incidents, finds out who Rainbow is, and decides to take John's wife hostage at the hospital near Hereford. Rainbow comes in action again, but this time it isn't easy at all. Two members are killed and several others are wounded. The hostages are save anyway, but Popov manages to escape. But, Rainbow now knows that he's behind some terrorist-actions and they try to catch him. They fail. But, when Losef Serov (Popov's real name (?)), hears that Horizon is about to kill almost everyone in the world, he calls John Clarck. He tells him what Horizon is about to do. They want to release the virus at the Olympics in Sydney. Rainbow must prevent that... | ||
