mmmm delicious (whocaresarizona?)
If you want to take an easy read for the beach/train/plane/ferry this is the book for you. You will be hard pressed to find a more eloquent and tailored prose making the book really easy to read and couple it with the thrilling plot, the pages almost turn themselves. It is a cracking thriller, the style reminds me of Alistair McLean and Freddy Forsyth. McClures plots are complicated and hinged on science and more often than not these events prove in reality to be quite credible. There is also an element of science based education carpeting the pages to keep you stimulated and plenty of clues and twists to feed the amateur detectives out there. Highly recommended.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED December 1, 2007

This is the third of the Ken McClure books that I have read in as many weeks and like the others I highly recommend it.
Unlike the others, it is quite confusing to start with and as usual there are a large number of misleading as well as helpful clues. I was completely led down the wrong track I am ashamed to say but thoroughly enjoyed being so misled!!
The basic plot is related to a break in at a bio research institue (which is fascinating in itself as there was a breach at one of the UK ones just a couple of months ago as the previous reviewer has said), and whereby one of the leading scientists there gets murdered. From there on in, all hell breaks loose and the clues go off on all kinds of wild threads but the two or three twists near the end will totally shock you you will not foresee them no matter how hard you try to work it out. The plot in places stands on its head, what you think is obvious at first appears to be a red herring, then you realise it isn't then it becomes the obvious again and then the final twist.......... ( I won't spoil it for you)!
Like the others, you won't be able to put it down.

I highly recommend it. A real thriller about a breach of a bio security lab thus resulting in the theft of the deadly Bird Flu Virus. But who has it and why?
Al Quaeda, terrorism, murder, and enough twists to keep you guessing till the end.
Light but fast reading, it is a real page turner.
ANOTHER WINNER...................... October 10, 2007

This is a great read and it makes the reader REALLY think about terrorism, 'shutting the stable door ....' as John Macmillan head of Sci-Med says. This is another in the Steven Dunbar series and I was unable to put it down. I am always amazed by Ken McClures foresight only weeks after this was published we had the incident at Pirbright. The prologue is enough to make your hair stand on end.!
Ken's done it again !!!!!! July 28, 2007

Ken's done it again, he has written another BLOCKBUSTER of a book, that is very topical and very believable. Again Ken has mixed some current scientific facts with a pinch of imagination and come up with a great story that is gripping and fast moving. I highly recommend this book, and had recommended it to a good friend who works in the business of manufacturing bird flu vaccines, and he is now backtracking on Dr Dunbar's career so far.
