Another fast-paced thriller from Cussler, et. al. I actually quite enjoyed this one about a potential pandemic flu outbreak and the rush for a vaccine (this was written about the time of the H1N1 flu scare). Of course, there is an evil Chinese triad in the mix and the usual supporting characters from Cussler. As always, I liked the lead-in to the novel - this time about a whaling expedition in 1848 that becomes ill with a flu-like outbreak and their cure by native medicine in Micronesia. I believe this is the first NUMA files novel that I've read but I'm sure it won't be the last.
