No current Talk conversations about this book. 8422681234 Written in 1999 before the American Anthrax scares the novel is prophetic about the dangers of biological terrorism not being a matter of if, but when. Drs Stapleton & Montgomery return in this book the fourth in the series. This episode we have an ex-Biopreparat technician (or Биопрепарат in Russian, their biological weapons research/production facility) who is disgruntled with American and after meeting up with some Right-wing nutjobs decides to stage a terrorist attack. Unlike the last book which was unrealistic and rather disjointed in parts Robin Cook is back on his game here, it's a good plot, realistic and moves and a good pace. The only thing I didn't like was the Laurie-boyfriend/engagement part which seemed superfluous, almost as if the publisher wanted Laurie featured in the book more for the romance angle so it was shoe horned in. If not for this it would be 5 stars, still a great read though. no reviews | add a review
