<p><em>The Invisible War </em>is about the bacteriophage (bacteria-eating virus) which lives in human mucus and fights dysentery (caused by the Shiga / Shigella bacterium). The story takes place on two different physical scales; the macro-scale, from the point of view of a Australian nurse serving in the trenches of France, and the micro-level, from the point of view of the microbes which fight to keep her body alive when she contracts dysentery.</p><p>Inspired by very recent discoveries which demonstrate that there is an amazing symbiosis that takes place between us and the bacteriophages. Described widely as a &lsquo;second immune system&rsquo;, this symbiotic relationship is our first line of defense against infection by disease-causing bacteria.</p><p><em>The Invisible War </em>also shows the filthy tragedy of war and the extreme physical conditions endured by young men and women in World War One.</p>
