Without agar, countries could not produce vaccines or the “miracle drug” penicillin, especially critical in wartime. In fact, they risked a “breakdown of [the] public health service” that would have had “far-reaching and serious results,” according to Lieutenant-General Ernest Bradfield. Extracted from marine algae and solidified into a jelly-like substrate, agar provides the surface on which scientists grow colonies of microbes for vaccine production and antibiotic testing. “The most important service that agar renders to mankind, in war or in peace, is as a bacteriological culture medium,” wrote oceanographer C.K. Tseng in a 1944 essay titled “A Seaweed Goes to War.”3
Leon’s old scars will have to wait, anyway. Requiem’s new blood is FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft. Equal parts tenacious and nervous, she’s a fitting lens on the horror portion of Requiem’s split focus between disempowered terror and cathartic action. The story opens with Grace – more acquainted with desk work than field ops – tasked to go over a crime scene at a gutted hotel. She knows the place well, since it holds some horrific memories for her. Still, she heads off with little more than a flashlight and a pistol you’ll never find quite enough ammunition for to feel safe.
