It's the same cookie cutter formula that has made Cussler a very rich man: Historical introduction, followed by modern day world crisis, followed by NUMA heroes being at the right place at the right time to prevent an overly complex murder plot, pretty scientist/doctor to rescue and romance, etc... What's missing is Cussler's ability to throw in enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. This one seems content to paint by the numbers and not try too hard to flesh out the events. In an older book, Sahara, Cussler paints a vivid and disturbing picture of the epidemic...here the pandemic is mentioned only in status reports that are meant to add a sense of urgency. It's like getting the Cliffsnotes of Cussler's original adventures, which pretty much sums up all of the Cussler franchise series over the last decade. Bottom line: I've gone from waiting at the bookstore for the latest Cussler book to glancing at the C section of my library.
An enjoyable adventure story May 6, 2010
J.Flood (Dublin,Ireland)
The world is threatened by a new virus, that has originated in rural China, and is in danger of becoming pandemic. A ruthless Chinese criminal organisation is trying to steal research work on an antidote, and then make millions by selling the antidote on to the highest bidder.
This book is standard Cussler fare, with the good guys, in this case Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala of NUMA (National Underwater Marine Agency, if you are unfamiliar with this author), facing up against the nasty villians of the Chinese triad. As usual, there is a lot of action, but not much by way of character development. The triad leaders are straight out of a 'comic strip'! I still thought the story was a good enough yarn, though, and it kept me interested, throughout.

In my opinion, the price paid was excellent and the quality of the book was outstanding -- like new! The book was shipped sealed inside bubblewrap so there was no wasted space in shipping. Very satisfied and would not hesitate to buy from them again.

Ordered the book on Thursday and it was delivered to my door on Saturday morning. Great service considering it was Christmas time. Thanks. Also, a great savings off the cover price.

I agree that this book is only worth $ 9. 99. After reading Medusa I was a little disapointed . Tim Boulder Colorado
