Summary: Mulligan Stew Plague Story
Review: I truly wanted to enjoy this book, especially after reading the Cobra Event. Sorry to say that while the book was a quick read, it was also a terrible read. Recipies for bioterrorism notwithstanding, the characters were extremely one-dimensional, the killing off of major characters was a ploy to get you to read another few pages.In my humble opinion, if you want the tar scared out of you...Read Preston's "The Cobra Event".

Summary: Enthalling and frightening tale of biological terrorism
Review: The authors have written a tale of biological terrorism that is made all the more frightening because it could happen at any time. The question is not if it will happen, but when. With references to events which have already happened in the real world, such as the fact that the Japanese terrorists responsible for the Sarin gas attacks had traveled to Africa in a fortunately unsucessful search for Ebola virus to contaminate the air of ten American cities, they have presented the absolute horrors that face us at all times. This book is a page turner, an all-nighter with every bit of the gripping true tale Hot Zone. Don't miss it!

Summary: A fantastic book that captures your intrest right away.
Review: The Eleventh Plague, is a fantastic. From the moment I read the first page I could not put it down. The character were well developed and the personalitys were so intertwined into the story that you did feel like they were seperate initys from the main theme. Dr. Jack's charater is someone I would love to see again fighting the evils of BT. I recomened this to everyone, even those who have never read a Medical Terror before like me. This is the first Medical Terror I have read and believe me it will not be the last. Hay, it even gave me a topic to right about in one of my term papers for college. So if your looking for a great book to read and love to be held in sespence this is one for you.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This audio, which has won the Golden Headsets for best audio of 1998, shows itself to be in a league with thrillers from authors Robin Cook and Tom Clancy. John Shea takes audio liberties with the text and makes it better than the printed word---Bennet Pomerantz Audioworld

Summary: A stomach turner as well as a page turner
Review: Anyone who likes medical thrillers should enjoy this book. I had difficulty putting it down long enough to engage in mundane activities such as eating, sleeping and going to work. I particularly liked the theories as to what might have caused the Biblical plagues mentioned in Exodus, although it is frightening to imagine some madman/genuis unleasing such plagues on an unsuspecting American public as happens in the story. I also learned something about the history of biological warfare [it goes back to Biblical times] and what caused the great epidemics of history. I wouldn't recommend this book if you are the squeamish type [I may never eat rye bread again] or have serious fundamentalist Christian views[the villian has a definite grudge against the clergy], however, it is a good read for people who like Robin Cook or even the Microbe Hunters.

Summary: Splendid novel
Review: This is a splendid novel, very well researched and done with great expertise. As a former infection control nurse, I found it highly educational and accurate (especially the wonderful description of an infection control nurse-Agent Gaynor).

Summary: Facinating and horrifying
Review: I read the entire book in two nights, starting at approximately 10:30pm each night. I couldn't put it down! At several points it was so electrifying I had to reread the last 25 pages just to make sure I didn't miss anything. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent, well paced thriller
Review: This book about a scientist recreating the biblical plagues is excellent. The dialog is crisp, the ploting well paced and the resolution of all plot threads is well done. The ending is excellent. With the discloure that the "recipies" are not possible it is scary that with knowledge and dedication it is possible (not proballe) some one could do this.

Summary: Interesting story; too many $5 medical words; bad ending!
Review: This book was a quick and enjoyable read. However, I guess as a lover of the Robin Cooke medical thrillers, I was looking for more understandable medical terminologies, plainly phrased and woven into the text so that they fit the drama. These medical descriptions and explanations were way over my head using so many heavy medical terms. The story flowed well. The idea of the plagues and the way they are manifested in the book, is very creative. I liked the main character and most of his supporting cast. The main character's childhood horror was well-written. The evil character was a properly crazed genius. The FBI man was characteristically duplicitous and suspicious, but lacked depth. I did not understand the reason for the Victoria Wade character. She could have not been in the book and the plot wouldn't have suffered that much. The ending of the story was too pseudo-cliff hanger for me. Throughout the whole book, we don't see this 11th plague, yet at the very end there is this suggestion. It made me feel like watching a old Dynasty or Dallas tv sit-drama when they were ending the season. I like a completely ended story where I know or at least can assume what has happened with each main character. This book is an ok read, just not notable or remarkable. I would read another effort from these two authors. Maybe they can learn deeper character development and less hi-tech descriptions for us lay-people who just like a good whodunnit.
