Plague: A Novel of Bioterrorism

Rating:
Summary: Frightening Reality
Review: When several children die of mysterious but virulent diseases and no one, not even the CDC, considers the matter seriously, Dr. Annick Clement investigates with the help of senior fellow Mac Eastwick. Before long, Annick begins to suspect that a bioterrorist may be orchestrating the unusual deaths, but she needs more evidence to prove her theory. Once the FBI gets involved, the action heats up. This is the second book by Gary Birken and I found it just as fast paced as his first. The only complaint I have about this book is that it dragged on in places. More than 50 pages were dedicated to a trip to Paris that really didn't need to be in the book. Also, the ending was a bit of a flop since the book builds up so much tension. Either way, it was still a good read. But if you're expecting The Cobra Event, you'll be disappointed.
