review 1: This book is a non-stop action thriller, one of those where you finally look up from it and say "wow... is it that late already?" but you still don't want to put it down. It's set in today's world, with today's leading-edge technology, but with a twist of the "it could be happening right now" variety that will change life as we know it in a fundamental way. Van Dyke tells the story through the adventures of a diverse group of well-developed, believable characters, all very human, each with his or her own set of virtues and faults. It's a complete book in its own right, with the main story action resolved at the end; but it's obviously meant to be the lead in to an ongoing series (and includes a "teaser" for the next book as an epilogue). I don't care much for "cliffhangers... more" but this really doesn't feel like one (for all that it makes me really want to read the next one).If SciFi action thrillers are your thing, by all means get a copy of this one. Then open it up, and hang on for a wild ride.
review 2: "That others may live."It's easy (or at least easier) to make decisions in your everyday life when you and your loved ones are healthy in body and mind but what if you weren't? What if you had cancer or muscular dystrophy or had been in a car wreck or suffered PTSD?Elise Wallis is a research scientist with incurable cancer when she is introduced to the Eden Plague.Daniel Markis was an Air Force Pararescueman before injuries and PTSD sidelined him. Now he's been infected with the Eden Plague, curing him of all his ills but leaving one "small" change. Was it worth it? And a big question -where did this virus originate from?Beyond fast-paced with believable characters, the author drew me into his vision of this small group of Americans who have to make earth-changing decisions based on the Eden Plague virus. This is TEOTWAWKI plus military thriller plus sci fi.Some twists and turns along the way with a little (awkward) romance thrown in, I've already purchased the next book in the series "The Demon Plagues: Book 2 (Plague Wars)" and am looking forward to diving onto it right away.NOTE: I was provided a copy of this book for review purposes and I have given an honest review. less
