4.0 out of 5 stars A medical thriller for today!, September 17, 2004

This review is from: Pestis 18 (Paperback)

I almost quit on this too soon. By page 50, I was hooked! This was a real rollercoaster ride. I give it a 4.5, rather than a 5 because the sections of the book that told of the different government agencies competing for jurisdiction, each with its own agenda, was a bit slow. The best parts were of the hostages on the island. None were stereotypical characters. Each was a fully defined, flawed, person. The terror lasted until the last second and the last page. This was chilling and sad (some had to die), and more true today than when it was written. We don't worry about the KGB anymore, they seem almost tame. Muslims terrorists are much worse. A great story, wonderful read.
