The Binding
The Binding Volume 1 by John Parham
What happens when a 5,000-year-old Starman, a Voodoo Queen, a sarcastic, telepathic cat, and a motley crew of former Louisiana Creole military veterans join forces to save America from a mutating Nano virus?.
New Orleans is Ground Zero for the Russian Mafia’s most sinister plot yet. But their plan to release a Nano virus that mutates and kills food crops is missing one vital component… water. Lucky for them, The Big Easy has plenty to spare!
A band of untamed and unfettered misfits join forces to stop the Russians or watch as they destroy crops from coast-to-coast.
With amazing skills, highly volatile personalities, unadulterated chaos, and more drama than a soap opera, the crew of unlikely allies must achieve the impossible.
Can they do it without creating another disaster or will it be chaos?

Lately I have read several mainstream best selling books where the author failed to properly develop the world & or characters, so it was so refreshing to find that wasn't the case here.
The characters & world were well developed. A sci-fi element isn't my normal read, but because the author did a great job of making it real-world believable, I was hooked by the end of chapter one.
And that cat, made the whole thing all the better.
I highly recommend this book, and hope there's a volume 2 soon!

New Orleans is ground zero for the Russian Mafia’s most sinister plot yet. They plan to release a Nano virus that mutates food crops but requires one missing vital component… water. Thankfully for them, The Big Easy has plenty of it to spare.
A band of unlikely heroes join forces that includes a 5,000-year-old Starman, a sarcastic, telepathic cat, the last Voodoo Queen in New Orleans, and a motley crew of Cajun ex-military that must fend them off or watch as America’s crops are destroyed from coast-to-coast.
Follow their wily adventure as they battle the Russian Mafia in a fight to control America’s crops and destroy financial markets.
Will these determined and unfettered allies fend off disaster, or are the Russians too powerful an opponent to defeat?
