Do we have a match?
That is the question that is on everyone’s mind, as they contemplate
their fate. In Germ, the deadly Ebola
virus has taken on a new dimension, as bioterrorists have developed the genetic
know-how to determine just who will
develop a full-blown case of the deadly disease, and who will survive with a
common cold. And the determination is
made with cold-blooded, 100 percent accuracy.
Julia Matheson is a specially-trained FBI investigator,
attached to the Bio-Terrorism Unit of the Department of Homeland Security. Her partner, Goodwin Donnelley, has been
ruthlessly murdered by assassins working for a shadowy figure, after coming in
contact with one of the “carriers” of the virus. Now it is up to her to unravel the threads
leading up to her partners murder, bring the deadly plot to an end, and the
sinister masterminds to justice. Before
they manage to target her for murder . . . or worse.
While in seminary, I was told to “leave the tools in the
woodshed,” and bring out the finished product.
Robert Liparulo has done exactly that in his novel, Germ. From page one I was drawn into this
masterfully crafted work of fiction.
Even when handling technically difficult material, the author manages to
“show” rather than “tell,” thus keeping the reader fully informed, completely
up-to-date, and thoroughly engrossed.
While the price may seem a bit steep, you won’t begrudge the expenditure
of a single penny when you invest it in the purchase of this action-packed
thriller.
