Didn't know what I expected (the book was a recommendation) I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was written. Everything is described so vividly, you can see everything in your mind's eye. A page-turner with that starts off with a break-in at a government lab where they design killer viruses, this books takes you on a crazy ride with red herrings all along the way. ( ) Not as much fun as 'The Guns of Navarone', which I read a couple of months ago, but still an entertaining read. This is really more of a detective story than an adventure, with the hero trying to track down a stolen super virus. It's a little pedestrian at times, with much of the action confined to rural England, but the thrilling climax makes up for it. Even that doesn't quite live up to the promise of the title though. Another good read by a master of mystery, intrigue, adventure, and suspense, this time involving a biological weapons research facility. The bad news is that two high-level employees are dead, from exposure to deadly compounds, but even worse is that flasks containing toxins that could destroy all life on earth are missing, and possibly in the hands of a madman. Better than Bond, and more believable. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Constant driving story line - clever way the true nature and connection of even the good guys came out slowly over time......lots of clever deducing on the part of our hero Pierre Cavell......and plenty of unnerving thoughts about the horrors of biological warfare. A quick vacation read that just felt right for me. As always, a bit too many lucky duck, skin-of-the-teeth, coincidental moments that knock down the believability quotient a just a hair - but really, most thrillers have that and we just keep on reading them. Very happy to have spent my day with this! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Gripping and tense story of secret agents, even more secret government facilities, and a deadly virus, from the acclaimed master of action and suspense. HELL IS ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED... Five strands of high-voltage wire, 200 yards of bare ground and double barbed wire fences patrolled by armed guards with dogs separated Mordon Research Centre from the outside world. Yet behind the locked doors of E block, a scientist lies dead, and a new toxin of terrifying power has vanished... Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
