If I had believed my first impression, I might have stopped reading after the first dozen pages or so. But I always give a book at least 50 pages before I write it off and by page 50 I was hooked. Reporter Parks grows on you. His honest pain at the death of his young assistant pushes him to help Dr. Hendrix, the inventor of the virus and his daughter. They are held hostage to a mad plan to control the West. Very timely. Muslim terrorists fuel the plague. The bad guys are really bad. The good guys are very human. The finale is stupendous. Everyone is present for the rousing ending in the hearing rooms at the Capitol. Hard-to-put-down. Lightning action. Comtemporary issues. Deadly threat. And a believable love story. Great story. Great ending. Great read.

The best of times and the worst of times. One of those books you can't put down yet with a subject matter that is frightening. But unfortunately, quite believable. Mr. Rey carefully selected his words to remind me of the precarious times in which we live. And what we have to do so survive.
Interesting, you always want to know more.
