Summary: Very factual fiction
Comment: Readers either liked or disliked this book, based I suppose on their political orientation (i.e., the last review). I thought it was very good in its portrayal of the dangers of biological weapons and the government's penchant for secret programs. Perhaps the writing is not as "literary" as some reviewers would have liked, but it is good suspense nonetheless. The author lays out a plot of what seems to based loosely on fact, and he then goes on to show us in the afterward and appendix that he had access to a lot of government documents. I recommend it.

Summary: Frightening and preaching
Comment: True, this book isn't high fiction, but the story it tells is chilling. In a time of concern about WMD, this book shows perhaps who is really behind biological weapons research. Other than the writing style (which is mawkish and strained), the only real down point of the book is the concept that America's stature in the world has declined primarly due to drugs. When the drug pipelines of the world are wiped out, America bounces back from the edge of destruction, according to Goliszek. Of course, the problem could more easily be solved by legalization, but as a person employed in the field of public health, it would be against engrained dogma for the author to admit such. Still, a scary look at the illegalites our government seems to relish in dealing in.

Summary: GOOD IDEA - POOR EXECUTION
Comment: By the first 100 pages you know how it's going to finish but it's still interesting, then the characters become predictable and the writing is like a screenplay for the X Files. Too many holes in the plot for anyone who likes realism in their stories
