Desert Eden seems inspired by the Biosphere at Oracle Arizona. It has a clever idea. There are several biospheres scattered world wide. In one, a study for a cure for cancer tragically unleashes a deadly plague. Suddenly the 10 scientists in the biosphere are in a fascinating trap. If they leave, they will fall victim to the plague. But how long can they stay? The concept is wonderful. Unfortunately, the author doesn't do nearly as much with it as he could, but it's still a page turner. I should add a warning. I read the two sequals, Beyond Eden and Future Eden, hoping the author would correct his mistakes and write a really good book. Alas, it's the opposite. They are still fast-moving page turners, but with increasing lapses in logic and dull characters. Desert Eden is the only one of the three that is genuinely enjoyable (and I wish the author would rewrite it and make a really good story out of it!)

I have really enjoyed Desert Eden, I still can't find the other 2 books. Basically there are domes around the world and when a virus broke out, It killed everyone except those that were immune. The people in the dome suffer through some hard times such as one of their own members risking their life to fix the dome from outside. It's really interesting. I do hope to get my hands on the other 2.

It's about where the entire world falls victim to a disease, But in the beginning, there were biodomes that were experiments that housed 10 people. But there were survivors that were immune to this disease but the people in the biodomes weren't. They were protected, They sent one man out to see if the disease had passed and unfortunately, he caught it. I only read this one because I still can't find the "Beyond Eden" book.
