An exciting pandemic thriller.
If you like medical stories dealing with a viral disease that causes death in nearly 100% of exposed persons, this is the book for you. The first in a potential new series featuring CDC medical investigator Dr. Mallory Hayes is fast-paced and suspenseful as she and fellow heroes battle biologic terrorism in the wake of a devastating natural disaster occurring in Southern California. The horrific illness originates in a FEMA camp and the Army and other personnel immediately try to help the many displaced persons as the CDC tries to trace and quarantine the infected. As the virus spreads throughout populated areas in the USA, riots and the breakdown of safety and security management cause additional problems while the death toll and infection increase. Can this be stopped?
I really enjoyed this and hope to see more of Dr. Mallory Hayes even as I hate to get hooked into another series (I prefer standalones). I am a total sucker for anything medical combined with twists and true-to-life scares. I also like it when the good guys win.
I borrowed this e-book from my local library and recommend it.
This is possibly the first in a new series to be read in order.
Genre - medical thriller (viral pandemic) natural disaster
