Not science fiction so much as possibility (like most of her work), this continues the tale of FBI Agent Robert Cavanaugh's slightly bumbling quest to find the truth about a strangely mutated strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Packed with anecdotes and quotes to round out the thriller, it's a great story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

FBI Agent Robert Cavanaugh has been transferred from the organized crime unit to the slow-paced office in Maryland. When a nurse at a hospital notices an increase in fatal strokes among healthy black adults, the trail leads to a new strain of malaria that is fatal to those with the sickle-cell trait. There's no hard evidence of human intervention, but Cavanaugh must convince the FBI to look for the answers before it becomes an epidemic or even race war. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A healthy presidential hopeful drops dead from a stroke complicated by malaria he has no business having in the United States. And suddenly there is a cluster of similar cases in southern Maryland. An FBI agent and an epidemiologist work the problem. Stinger is a competent biotech thriller that actually gives a shout-out to Chloroquine, the antimalarial drug that has been in the news lately. Because it is a book by Nancy Kress there is also some routine domestic drama to go along with the scientific mystery plot. ( )
