The Sleeper Agent The Rise Of Lyme Disease From AW Finnegan

Adam Finnegan didn't set out to write a book about biological warfare. He just wanted his life back. In 2016, a single tick bite launched him into a living hell of dizziness, vertigo, searing headaches, and a fatigue so profound it stole the man he used to be. He walked the halls of modern medicine only to be told he'd be fine in a few weeks, and when he wasn't, that he wasn't sick at all. He was a ghost in his own body, abandoned by the very system designed to heal him.His Lyme disease diagnosis wasn't an ending; it was a terrifying beginning. It was a key that unlocked a door he never knew existed. As he fought for his own health, a single, haunting question drove him: Why? Why was this disease, and the chronic illness it created, such a medical mystery? Why were so many being told they weren't sick?His personal battle for survival became an all-consuming obsession for the truth. This quest led him down a rabbit hole of classified history, to a German virologist named Dr. Erich Traub and the top-secret labs of Plum Island. In a Herculean effort no other researcher had undertaken, Finnegan, fighting his own debilitating symptoms, collected and translated Traub's entire archive of German research. He discovered the scientist's chilling work on "immune tolerance” the very mechanism that allows a pathogen to hijack the body and create chronic illness, turning it into a "Great Imitator" that evades diagnosis.The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare was born from a seven-year battle for survival. It is the direct result of one man's refusal to accept his fate. This isn't just a book; it's a roadmap of his personal investigation, a journey that began with his own symptoms and ended with a staggering revelation: the science behind his suffering may have been engineered in a laboratory as a weapon of war.Finnegan turned his personal pain into a relentless pursuit of the facts, meticulously documenting his findings with official records, declassified documents, and the testimony of intelligence insiders. This is the story of how a man fighting a disease in his own blood uncovered a biological secret hidden in the shadows of history. His fight is your fight, and his discovery is a revelation that could change everything we thought we knew about chronic illness.
