As they say, 'Ripped from today's headlines!". Bioweapons, viruses, Iran, Iraq, Russia, you name it, they're here. As with all of Jack Carr's book, this is intense and fast moving. Definitely authentic, just enough to give you pause several times while reading. As usual, James Reece is there to keep the bad guys in line. If you're looking for a thriller to read, this is it. If you believe everything the MSM tells you, read this anyway. It will be a good education.
