Wuhan virus appeared in 1981 thriller novel

Importantly, the original version of this novel published in 1981 called the virus “Gorki-400” and was from The Soviet Union. It wasn’t until the 1996 revision where Mr. Koontz changed it to “Wuhan-400” and moved it to China. Kinda makes sense seeing that by 1996 the Soviet Union was no longer and China was seen as more of a threat.
