The Cobra Event is about a bio-terrorism events as they unfold in (where else)New York City. It's very smartly written and, at least for someone not versed in Biology or virology, it seems incredibly believable. In short, this book is a page turner. I enjoyed it thoroughly and intend to read it again in the future. Although it is somewhat graphic at times, it is graphic in a realistic, almost clinical sense, which ads to the believability of the story because, instead of making the reader into a voyeur examining these deaths from a far, it places them right next to it as a doctor trying to figure out what on earth is going on.
