James Abel

Alright, the author’ military jargon is not at all authentic. If you know anything about US military organizations, you may find the author’ lack of such specialist knowledge less than immersive. Be that as it may, the writer more than makes up with an exciting setting, a well thought-out plot and interesting characters. In fact, I found this a bit Alistair “Mcleanish”in style and quality.

Excellent action bio-thriller.

Another great Joe Rush novel. This time he’s battling a contagion. Very relevant today, especially the absurdity of the government’s response.

It seems I picked two books about pandemics and this is one. Who knew. It is a fast read and the first one I have read of Abel. The nemesis happens to be the mosquitoes. This was published 2017 and Abel captures the bad behavior of the American public -- in this case gatherings, ignoring mosquitoes habitat, not wearing DEET, clothing that covers and going out at dawn and dusk. Sound familiar. So if you can take the subject matter during this period, go for it.
