What if a computer virus could be transferred from machine to man? That provocative—if not downright silly—question is the basis of Virus!, a wild science-fiction comedy in the tradition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The Elite Computer Virus Task Force has a problem. Somehow, one of its most experimental—and dangerous—computer viruses has escaped.

This comic free-for-all takes our heroes (and villains) from the very depths of outer space all the way to downtown Denver, as they do battle with the Multiple Masters, a race
