Bestselling genre author Dean Koontz published a 1981 novel titled ‘The Eyes of Darkness’ that centers on a shtf extinction level bioweapon virus which leaks from gov labs in Wuhan China. The virus is literally called Wuhan-400. It spreads to the US and shitloads of people die, CIA develops vaccine etc.

Anyone read this shit? As other anons have said, it’s reminiscent of the famous Lone Gunmen pilot episode that aired months before 9/11, except this book is from 1981.
