I usually don't read fiction but I liked this book and thought it very timely especially given the rumor (fact?) that the H1N1 virus of the current swine flu pandemic was manmade. Computer nerds can decide for themselves if some of the high tech computer sleuthing is plausible, but I think that the story does a good job of showing how a dedicated bioterror attack could occur.

If you like science fiction, and enjoy writers like Michael Chrichton, I think you'll enjoy this book.....if you can get past the fact that there are numerous typos throughout. It's a fast read and very suspenseful at times. Definitely reads like a book written for a movie release, and would make a good action/thriller type movie. Warning: some very disturbing scenes that involve domesticated animals.

This book gives a glimpse into a possible terrifying reality as bio-terrorists play havoc with human lives. Bit by bit you are drawn into this story as it weaves an awful scenario for epic destruction. This is a work of fiction that you PRAY does not ever become a reality. You get to know the characters, busy living their lives, never knowing that in the next few moments or hours, they could be dead or dying. This could be our new reality but for the vigilance of our intelligence and law enforcement communities!
You can't put this one down!

This book went way beyond my expectations. Well written,interesting & intricate plot and it left me thinking about the implied possibilities for the future. The future = the sequel AND our future! A great read, highly recommended.HOMEGROWN: THE TERROR WITHIN

Thanks a lot! I already hated mosquitos, and now I get to face the summer with the added fear that the little terrorists are carrying bioweapons. Great read. Now I'm off to Home Depot to buy some screens.
