Being a healthcare worker for some time, this story held my attention until the last page. The characters are well developed and believable in today’s world. Frankton is a reluctant hero who seems to be in the right or wrong place, depending on how you look at it. Like most people would have loved to have a normal life with his family when he butted heads with powerful and greeting people. The story takes some twists and turns that I did not expect at the onset. The story is fast-paced with intrigue and action, reminding me a little of the book "The Da Vinci Code" meets the "Andromeda Strain." Buckle up when you start to read this, you will not be disappointed.
What sets this novel apart from other thrillers is its main character, Karl Frankton. Naiman does an exceptional job of developing Karl as a deeply flawed yet compelling figure. Karl's personal struggles and emotional journey are what make him so relatable and empathetic. Readers are drawn into his world of moral dilemmas and difficult decisions, making it easy to root for him as he navigates the horrors of this bio-terror crisis. His sorrowful yet determined pursuit of answers drives the plot forward, providing a strong emotional anchor amidst the chaos.
I enjoyed this book, This book definately made me think could this happen? I found myself reading page after page until I finished. The book makes you think about the what if ? What would I do if this happened. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more books by Gary.
The scienced fiction element of this book was outstanding and so well developed. Ther terror of it is also very good. But none of this would have mattered had the author not developed such a wonderfully flawed main character. I felt very immersed in Karl's sad world. It was easy to root for him. I highly recommend this book if you're into well-developed technothrillers.
