This is a top-notch medical thriller about a "real-life" disease and how Dr. Danny Tilson and a team of specialists from the CDC race against time to stop an outbreak from becoming a horrifying pandemic.
First off, this kind of fiction really gives me the willies. The disease culprits are real and the outcome, frightening beyond belief. It makes me applaud the medical community for their efforts to combat disease and infection through hard work, dedication and the underlying fear of contracting the disease themselves. Bravo!
POSITIVES- This doctor proves herself to be a very good author. The editing is spot on and her expertize in the medical field- how doctors view their patients- how their private lives and commitments must sometimes take a back burner, and how fear (whether for themselves or their patients) must be dealt with every day- shines through the plot-line. Great job at ratcheting up the tension!
NEGATIVES- My only beef with this story is that there were actually TWO stories going on at once. Dr. Tilson's infant daughter is being abused and Dr Danny must stop everything to deal with this issue, as well as try to save the world from disaster. Not to say that life doesn't march along while doctors are busy trying to stop a pandemic, but it felt like each story had huge weight and deserved a whole book rather than both important issues sharing space within the story ark.
Also, there was such a sinister undertone to the plot-line, I started viewing almost EVERYONE with suspicion--- a new doc that was hired- even the beloved new brother-in-law. I'm not sure if this was intentional, but it certainly cast a murky atmosphere through-out the already dark principal story. (Perhaps these characters are being introduced as follow-ups in this series?)
All in all, however, a very good medical thriller that's guaranteed to keep you up at night! 5 Stars!
