"Outbreak, by Davis Bunn"

"Outbreak, by Davis Bunn"

Something sinister is happening in the waters off the coast of West Africa, trailing death in its wake. Local insurgencies are no longer the only imminent danger--and the panic mounts. But before a global alarm can be sounded, the sea currents shift, and the outbreak evaporates. Coastal populations are relieved when life returns to normal, and the region's governments are all too happy to sweep the publicity nightmare under the rug.

Theo Bishop and Avery Madison saw the devastation with their own eyes, and they know the danger hasn't passed--it's just changed locations. But everywhere they turn, powerful interests are determined to silence all credible evidence of the impending biological disaster--by any means necessary. They will have to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to convince the powers that be of the toxic destruction about to be unleashed on American soil. . . .

First let me say this book will have you on the edge of your seat at each and every page turn.  That's what I like about this author's book's.  That and the interesting subjects and story lines he comes up with.  Every time I read one of his books, I always think; "how on earth did he come up with this idea."

However; the ending of this book was a bit of an anti-climax.  It felt as though he had put all his effort into writing the book and just ran out of steam and just quickly jotted something/anything down as the ending, which was a shame, as so much thought and detail was put into the rest of the book.  I didn't hate the book because of that; it just felt as though the ending was an after thought.

Stars out of 5 : 4 I really enjoyed the book, right until the last few pages; but it was the last few pages that let the book down.  I truly thought until close to the end that we were going to have to read another book and this was a series of books.  I even checked the front of the book to see if this was book one in a series.  Regardless I would recommend you read this book, as it is super interesting, just don't expect fireworks at the end!!
