I didn’t necessarily plot it so much as I just let the storylines from the first book continue playing out, which allowed me to expand upon a lot of the fun elements from the first book and explore the characters in greater detail. The Annihilation Protocol is really a natural extension of The Extinction Agenda. When in the process of writing The Extinction Agenda did you come up with the idea for The Annihilation Protocol, and how, if at all, did that idea change as you wrote this second novel? The key to saving millions of lives lies buried in the past, and it’s only by delving into the history of the nefarious Unit 731 and a family of Nazi sympathizers that they’re able to unravel the threads leading to the identification of the Scarecrow and the member of the Thirteen responsible for the chemical weapon threat. Aided by his longtime friends, Ramses Donovan and Gunnar Backstrom, he finds himself pitted against a sadistic mass murderer called the Scarecrow, who has a penchant for inflicting suffering, access to thousands of gallons of a lethal nerve agent, and a burning desire to use it. After revealing the existence of a secretive cabal known as the Thirteen, and derailing a conspiracy to release a deadly flu virus, FBI Special Agent James Mason discovers another plot to cull the global population waiting in the wings. The Annihilation Protocol takes place immediately following the events of The Extinction Agenda. So, what is The Annihilation Protocol about, and how does in connect, both narratively and chronologically, to your previous novel, The Extinction Agenda? I find it best to start with an overview of a book’s plot. In the following email interview about it, Laurence discusses how these stories connect and where his hero might go next…assuming the dogs don’t get in the way. Having already put us through a deadly flu outbreak in his novel The Extinction Agenda, writer Michael Laurence is now setting a psychotic nerve agent-lover against us in the sequel, The Annihilation Protocol ( hardcover, Kindle, audiobook).
