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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

A page turner, easy, fast read with a contemporary theme.

Many people are familiar with Ken Follett's books. If you are not, they are basically suspense, and real page turners.

A scary page turner -- fast paced, almost frantic. If you like Ken Follet, you will love this one.
