Helpful Score: 3

This book was well written, had well developed characters and a really interesting premise.....but relied on one convention (the unreliability of communication) to create the entire story. I found it incredibly unbelievable that in 2060 (or so, when this story takes place) we are expected to believe that quarantining one city would cripple communications lines, and that the Department Head of a Major University could be completely out of contact (and unfindable) for upwards of three weeks. Communication hasn't been that unreliable for more than fifty years - and I would assume that in fifty more years, things would be better....not worse.
