Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Getting hold of a sample of highly deadly bacteria is already bad enough. But what if someone had the unique opportunity to alter it? What would it be worth? What would one be willing to sacrifice for it? What would it take to stop this insanity?
The main figure in this book, Jon Smith, is doing his best to stop the insanity. But Jon is, for my liking, too perfect and too point on with his guesses. In the whole book there is only one very slight mistake he makes. Also towards the end of the book everything goes very quickly, quite smoothly, predictably. The plot definitely could have been garnished with more side tracks, some dead ends, a few unexpected turns and this way made a far better read.
