 This is a title and an author that are entirely new to me. It's an excellent and professionally written sci-fi medical thriller. Very much like your typical Michael Crichton. I would call it Andromeda Strain with a little bit of alien mixed in. Parts of it are very gruesome. I got this audiobook on tape a few weeks ago for a dollar. And it is a very engaging listen. It's only drawback is that it is perfectly formulaic. It is the plague disaster story scene for scene right down the middle. You know from page one exactly how it's going to unfold and how it's going to end. I think it's unavoidable with this type of story.
