Author Eric McCorkle’s New Book, “The Perfect Weapon,” is a gripping thriller that centers around a terrorist attack that poisons the water supply of America

Gatesville, TX, October 29, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Eric McCorkle has completed his new book, “The Perfect Weapon”: a riveting and potent drama that centers around a terrorist plot to destroy America via its water supply, resulting in the deaths of thousands as the government attempts to find a solution before it’s too late.

“In my book, ‘The Perfect Weapon,’ a group of terrorists develop a weapon that contaminates 90 percent of America’s water supply,” writes McCorkle. “Because we as a people, and we as a nation, have become so reliant on bottled and safe water, we are easy marks for these terrorists.

“There is a parasite that lives in stagnant water that, once ingested, is mostly fatal because it lives in our bloodstream and migrates to our brain, where it wreaks havoc and finally kills the host. These terrorists find this parasite and modify it so it can be dehydrated or frozen, and nothing, including modern antibiotics, can kill it except boiling it.

“Once a large-enough supply of dehydrated parasites are produced, these terrorists hire a pilot and copilot to fly this deadly cargo over the reservoirs that provide water for the one hundred largest cities in the US. This cargo is then released by the preprogrammed flight of the plane.

“After a few weeks, the results of the parasite infection begin to raise its ugly head. Thousands of Americans begin to get sick and, as there is no antidote, await a long and painful death because the American scientific community and esteemed government said this couldn’t happen.”
