The waters off the West African coast are a menacing red, full of algae thick enough to stand on in places. In nearby villages, mysterious deaths start to occur--and the panic mounts. But before an alarm can be sounded, the sea currents shift, the algae vanishes, and the deaths stop. Everyone is relieved when things return to normal, and local government officials are happy to sweep the publicity nightmare under a rug. An American biological researcher, Avery Madison, is dispatched by his employer to piece together exactly what happened, having long feared an ecological disaster just like this could occur. He's had little evidence to go on before now, and what he finds in West Africa is rapidly disappearing. But Avery knows the danger hasn't disappeared--it has just moved on. When parts of the Caribbean start turning a familiar red right before hurricane season kicks into high gear, the implications are clear. If Avery and his colleagues can't convince the world of what's about to happen, toxic destruction could be loosed on American soil. Will their efforts prove too late?--… (lisätietoja)

We’ll written. Typical Bunn. ( )

I was really excited to read this book based on the back cover description, but for some reason, it just wasn't as great as I was expecting. It was okay and I did enjoy it to a degree, but it just wasn't as intriguing as I had anticipated. ( )

Outbreak by Davis Bunn is a fast-paced, suspense novel that was a quick read for me. The novel held my attention from beginning to end, though I spent a substantial portion of the novel feeling a bit confused. My favorite character was Della, a brave, strong woman, whose relationship with Theo starts off roughly, but develops into friendship and, later, romance.

I read this with my local book club ladies and the general consensus was that we were all a bit confused throughout and that it ended quickly with not enough explanation. With all the loose ends, an epilogue or sequel would have improved the experience. ( )

Theo Bishop, the brother of a pharmaceutical company CEO, microbiologist Avery Madison, and journalist Della Haverty are teaming up to prevent the outbreak of a global pandemic. But those who want to sweep the looming disaster under the rug aim to terminate the team's efforts, even if it means terminating the team's members in Outbreak by author Davis Bunn.

Though I wasn't on the edge of my seat as I read this suspense novel, I did finish it within twenty-four hours, which isn't the norm for me and books longer than novellas. My interest ebbed and flowed throughout this one, and the drawn-out, almost uneventful events from a bad guy's perspective dulled the pace more than they built the tension for me. But the shortness of the chapters leading up to the climax helped.

This is a smart read, with its mix of science, danger, a little faith, and a little romance. The ending makes a sequel quite possible without strictly making one necessary. Given that this is one of my all-time favorite ChristFic authors, if a sequel does come out, I'll likely give it a whirl.

Bethany House provided me with a complimentary copy of this book, for which I've given an honest review. ( )
