Promising premise that does not deliver
7 Jan 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tempted to advance-order this title by a full spread ad in PW several months ago, I expected a polished medical thriller, but was disappointed to read a too-long soap opera about a wealthy Nobel prize-winning do-gooder who justifies mass-murder because her adopted son was killed in an African "ethnic cleansing" war. Unfortunately, none of the characters incite the reader to care much about them, and the longer you read, the less you care. Had the book been shorter and the self-examinations of the characters been fewer, the story could have been more entertaining. As it is, I can only say that Artemis as a threat let me down.

Great Book!!
28 Sep 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was a bit skeptical about reading this book because I had never heard of the Author. I was pleasantly suprised!! I read many new authors of Thrillers, and this is by far the best new Author I have come across. I could not put it down, and the plots just kept twisting until the last page. I do not understand some of the negative comments on this book. I thought it was a very polished read. I highly recommend this book! I can't wait for more from Kyle!!

WAAAY better than The Cobra Event
25 Jan 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoy books about biological disasters, and this one was very good. I thought the characters were well-developed, even if their actions were not quite believable (an ethical scientist who blackmails the world?). Still, the author managed to flesh out these people enough so that I actually sympathized with the villainess and I was willing to suspend my disbelief and accept her motivations. The pace was lightning quick, and he had an exciting climax. Frankly, I thought this book was a hundred times better than the over-hyped Cobra Event by Richard Preston.
