Meh.
Medical to bio-war thriller, complete with highly trained defenders (nevertheless one makes a bone headed mistake that seemed mainly to add pathos to the story). And oh yeah, Iraqi bio weapons labs.

I gave it two stars and noted to avoid the author.

Very exciting reading that should keep you on the edge of your seat, but I didn't finish it because the descriptions of the illness were too gruesome for me in places.

I refuse to give this book's plot away. But I will give you some of the reveiws for it...

"THIS BOOK SCARED THELIVING DAYLIGHTSOUT OF ME....Manages to grab you with it's authenticity of it's scientific detective work and haunt you with it's shear plausability." --Entertainment Weekly

"ONE OF THOSE BOOKS YOU LITERALLY CAN'T PUT DOWN...Makes 'The Haunt Zone' virus--far away in a rain forest--look like no big deal." --Detroit Free Press

'THE BOOK THAT PETRIFIED THE PRESIDENT
"Mr. Clinton was so alarmed by...THE COBRA EVENT, whic portrays a lone terrorists's attack on New York City with a genetically engineered virus--that he instructed intelligence experts to evaluate its credility." '
-- The New York Times

Another Great terror story by this writer that could one day become a reality.

Really gives you something to think about! Has to do with terrorists and a genetically engineered virus. Very current and very interesting. Full of little known information about terrorists.

"Five days ago, a homeless man on a subway platform died in agony as startled commuters looked on. Yesterday, a teenager started having violent, uncontrollable spasms in art class. Within minutes, she too was dead. Dr. Alice Austen is a medical pathologist at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. What she knows is that the two deaths are connected. What she fears is that they are only the beginning."
