Parallel between Her Majesty's Secret Service and Zika

Anyone see a parallel as I do?

    No, not really. The bioweapons in OHMSS are quite different, deliberately deployed and not intended to work on humans.

    Welcome, Hottocool! I saw a parallel with another work of fiction, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six that involved the attempted global spread of Ebola, a natural and reality-based contagion like Zika.

    Wasn't that "Executive Orders" rather than "Rainbow Six"?

    EO was when Jack Ryan became President via a 911-like attack on the US Capitol, similar to the upcoming Fox TV Kiefer Sutherland series, Designated Survivor. RS's plot was set during the Olympics where the Ebola virus was set to be released via the cooling mist generators that some amusement parks provide for visitors on hot days.

    There's a Ebola plot in both RS and EO.
    It's in "Debt Of Honour" that a plane deliberately crashes into the Capitol building
    killing the sitting President and thus making Jack the President in the last few pages
    and in EO Jack has to deal with the attempted Ebola attack.
