The Gabon Virus: A Novel (TSI)

Honestly, I cannot wait for more books of the TSI (Time Scene Investigators) group, this novel was just too neat. Placed in modern day with a few chapters in the 1660's this book was a complete page turner filled with anxiety and adventure. The characters come to life and the technology is real. Never was there a dull moment in the reading of this story. A vast array of personalities were brought together in this cast of characters. Real fears and dilemmas were carried to light and worked through. Who would ever picture a present day doctor having anything in common with a 17th century monk? In a way parts of the big cooperation are reminiscent to me of the Resident Evil video game, yet there are no zombies in this story. At times I was show more curious if I were to be overcome by the sorrow in the story, but then there are so many hidden facets of hope through out that as a reader I was carried through. In the end, transformations that needed to take place have occurred and another dawn brightens reminding the reader of all the reasons that God gives us another day. show less

I enjoyed reading this timely Christian fiction suspense novel about the race to stop an oncoming pandemic. Based on real events past and present, the authors invent a story that comes close to today's truth about yet another outbreak of the H1N1 form of swine flu. Although science has never been a favorite subject of mine, the authors wrote so that I was able to follow the scientific theories.

The characters were quite believable. I found myself anxious for Aaron, the teenage boy who inadvertently carries a dreaded disease, infecting all unfortunates who come in contact with him as he tries to escape those pursuing him. An order to stop Aaron's flight by any means--even murder--caused me to resent any interruptions while I read. I call show more this one a page-turner.

The Blue Monk will have you questioning whether or not you believe in ghosts.
