I've had this book on my Kindle for months and finally found myself with a spare weekend in which I could sit down and enjoy it.A terrific thriller which is both thrilling and thought-provoking in its execution. I've never read a medical thriller where the writing was so accomplished and held my interest so much, usually all the medical jargon has me floundering and skipping parts, not this one.The author clearly is well-informed on the subject matter and ultimately has spun it into a great pace [...]
I wanted to read this book because the description sounded like a type of mystery I would like–sort of a combination of Michael Crichton, Robin Cook, and Scott Sigler. This story moves really fast and the author is obviously quite knowledgeable about the important elements in the mystery–particularly fast-moving, contagious diseases. The plot follows veterinarian Donna Bailey in her efforts to track down a strange and sudden condition that is striking livestock in the North Dakota county whe [...]
4.5 Stars for a real page-turner! The book started off with various points of view used to set the scene and drop some clues in different places. This made it just a little difficult for me to pinpoint the main characters until a few chapters in, but once it became clear who they were, things really got rolling, and that was no longer an issue. While I’m no expert, it seemed to me that the author did her research into various areas. The CDC protocols, the science behind the animals at Triple E [...]
SciFi Thrills and ChillsSector C is a good science fiction thriller. Good characters, especially the heroine veterinarian and the CDC investigator, solid storytelling skills, and curiosity about how they're going to save the world will keep you turning the virtual pages.This thriller opens with an intriguing premise. As with many books, I wish the premise and plot surprises weren't revealed in the book's Product Description. I'd love it if authors could learn the skills of publishing company cop [...]
I wanted this to be one of my rare 5 star ratings, it had everything I like in a book, a bit "Jurassic Park-ish" with interesting characters, seemingly solid background science and although slow to start, the author built the suspense slowly. The main female character was particularly well done and seemed the most important, with good supporting characters as well.Unfortunately, the ending disappointed. It felt to me, as the reader, that the author simply lost interest (or had a set length to de [...]
Well worth reading. The premise, that a devastating illness could develop which affects all mammals, is pretty scary, but I liked the way the author developed the story. As others have commented, some of the details are poorly done; for example: National Guardsmen don't have pressed trousers and aren't called out by the President; Our Heroine and Hero were fleeing across the Dakota prairie in high summer for over a day without water and with no ill effects. But these mistakes should be a learnin [...]
This was a great read - and the author really seems to know her stuff on the scientific issues. The book reminded me a bit of Jurassic Park (which I also loved). The first half is spent trying to figure out the mystery and the second half turns into a faster-paced action story. The ending felt a bit anti-climactic though, but this wasn't enough to make me take a star off. Recommended.
Things go wrong in a private game preserve and research facility in the great plains of the U.S Genetically engineered animals are dying of some strange disease. Worse yet, one has escaped and has infected the livestock in the surrounding area. And even worse than that, people are becoming infected and dying too, and it's spreading fast. And it's up to a CDC analyst and a local vet to help stop the pandemic. Not much new here. Michael Crichton does this much better. But on the bright side, this [...]
DisappointedI wanted to read this because it was supposed to be like "Jurassic Park". I was disappointed when it was just wooly mammoths, large rhinos & sabre toothed tigers. Was looking for t-rex, raptors & pterodactyls. Too much disease analysis for me. I kept waiting for that gut wrenching dino to terrorize a community. Was mildly entertaining & disappointing together. Wouldn't really read again or suggest it to anyone unless you like destruction of domestic animals & a few ex [...]
Thist and TurnsTwist and turns on almost every page. I do not want to give any spoilers. One thread leads to another and another. I liked that the transitions from one to another are smooth and not jarring. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. I was delighted with the character development. I also want to reveal that I paid $0.00 for the book. Best free read EVER!
An okay read.If this is a thriller then I know why I don't read many. Didn't grab me. Just another take on a worn out premise. Greed and science are bad, government is good. The only sympathetic characters are the animals.
Pre-historicWhat an amazing story. I so enjoyed this book. The concept of the story, I suppose could happen under the right circumstances. But let's hope not, but it made an enjoyable story.
WowLike my mother always said, "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature." Do the good guys prevail? Does breed won the day? This very readable page turner brings you to your answer. I thoroughly enjoyed this terrifying, sad and joyous book.
Prehistoric future The characters are very believable as real people. The plot and storyline are fast paced and hold your attention. I will recommend it to people in my reading group.
Love your pets now. The writer takes you on heartache journey. Technology out grows common sense. Greed sets the pace. Humanity of man on the brink of disaster.Interesting and exciting read. I couldn't put the book down, especially the last 10 chapters.
Nice tech-disaster taleGreat characterization and dialog. Good story plot and follow through. Ending a bit abrupt but satisfied nonetheless. Recommended. Worth the read.
A clever plot line and enjoyable story. The writing was generally ok however I did find it quite clumsy in parts. It was a good read
Good read!Thought provoking story set in an area where I used to live. Very nice! ! ! ! ! ! !
Sector CA very interesting story. Well researched and planned. Characters and situations seem all too real. I would highly recommend this book. Phyllis
An interesting and exciting plot. I don't know about the science involved, but Phoenix Sullivan's story seems like one that could happen in real life.
ReviewLots of imagination went into the writing of this book. Kept my interest from beginning to end. I would recommend this book highly.
Definitely read this if . Extinction? You just never know when science doesn't let knowledge of results go forward before rushing into the "We can, therefore we should"
New readerVery interesting story! A version of a Jarrasic Park theme. Not to hard to imagine!! Characters were great and plot was believable.
Decent action, but ending was anticlimactic, seems as though author had no clear vision of the ending and was near deadline.
Good stuffJurassic Park meets X Files meets Andromeda Strain.All in all an helluva Sci Fi Adventure Romance trip. As I said, good stuff.
Most interesting!Good character development. Very believable scenario. Great read. Look forward to more offerings from this author. Good luck and good reads.
Great readThis is a great story of a plague from eons ago brought to life again. When peoples and animals start dying basically the same way and an extinction level plague that can take out all we know and love is uncovered. If you're into a story that will keep you hooked from start to finish then this is the book for you.Independent reviewer for Romance Authors That Rock
Interesting premiseProbably more truth than fiction. Like the relationship woven in the story. Will read more from this author very soon.
It's a joy to encounter an indie author who can write. Well.This story started out by digging itself a deep hole. The opening scene has a "hunter" (and I use the term very loosely) trying to bag a white tiger — in a "canned hunt". The tiger is in an enclosed pen, and the "hunter" is in a completely secure, concrete & iron, bunker. I realize Phoenix Sullivan has no intention of being sympathetic to that hunter, or the very idea of equating that behaviour to hunting, but it immediately tur [...]
This is a cautionary tale. Just because scientists can do something does that mean that they should. Add Greed to the equation and the results?Donna is a veterinarian. She travels a large area seeing to ranchers' stock as well as town pets.Mike works for the CDC. He is a computer analyst and searches for anomalies. He knows all the worst case scenarios that can be put into play if a disease gets out of control.Triple E is a private ranch/lab/hunter's mecca. Geneticists at Triple E are cloning an [...]
