Want something that grabs you and you can settle in for a day of reading? This is it. Ken Follett is another writer who tells interesting tales.

This is fun. A great thriller that continues to pull you into every page. The plot is germ warfare, the idea though is a great twist. Please someone check this because you are missing out. I love a good thriller and this is one of the best.

Engaging thriller about bio-terrorism thwarted by a female ex-cop and the family of her employer, abetted by a freak snowstorm. Follett creates a high-tech security system for the bad guys to defeat, but anyone who's ever worked with extremely dangerous materials will recognize a flaw the author doesn't even acknowledge.

This turned out to be a real pageturner but it took awhile to get going with it. At the end I spent a whole day reading that last 300 pages just to see what would happen. I'll probably read more of him now that I know what he can do.

A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Twelve missing samples of a deadly virus. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come.

Wow. Very exciting story. Griping, intense, fast paced, surprising, had me turning pages so fast...hated to get to the end of this one. Love Ken Follett.

In all honesty, I tried to get into this one and couldn't. That's all I can tell you. If you like books with characters stranded and the resultant conflicts and confusion, it's probably for you. It IS a Ken Follett novel, so there's that.

This was a really good page turner, and I read it twice. I rarely do that.

I loved Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (one of my favoite books of all time!) so I decided to check out some of his older works. This book is a great mystery with high-tech and medical mystery elements, and great character development between all of the members of the family.

This is a very good book. It was a pageturner, for me. Lots of twists. Very good and interesting characters. If you like a good mystery, you'll like this book. Very intriguing!

This was a good book. The ending was a forgone conclusion, but the steps or events in between were laid out in great fashion. Some unusual events taking place in the page to page writings.

VERY VERY EXCITING - FOLLETT IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER.

I enjoyed this book, it was fast paced and interesting. It took place over a 48 hour time line. I liked how everyone got involved, there is just not one hero.

A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Twelve missing samples of a deadly virus. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come. Filled with treachery and intrigue, action grabbed from the headlines. A great read!
