An ecological thriller complete with Navy Seals and scientists in a race against time and nature - Both human nature and Mother Nature!

Not-too-shabby action/suspense novel masquerading under eco-theme. Interesting writing style. The two different subplots taking place at distinct locales (Galapagos high-action and medical-containment-ward) remained unfortunately pretty distinct, and not really woven together by much plot development, as if Hurwitz glued one action novel and a medical thriller together with some binder twine.
A wee bit of deus-ex-machina and fully anticipated final page twist.
Nevertheless, a very decent read, and couldn't put it down.
