Product Description

When a top research institute is broken into and vandalised, the police at first believe that animal-rights activists took things a step too far. Then they discover one of the institute's eminent scientists, Tim Devon, brutally murdered.

Dr. Steven Dunbar, working for an elite government agency, is sent to investigate. A few of the dead scientist's research animals have also gone missing, and top-level authorities are strangely obsessed with hunting down and killing the purportedly harmless animals. Was the attack on Devon and the institute really the work of extremist activists, or is something far more sinister going on?

Nice try 4 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some of this story worked well and at times it was quite exciting but I thought it was filled with a lot of unnecessary and unentertaining descriptive text that added little or nothing and felt that I had to wade through this dross to the next piece of dialogue to keep the story flowing. Nothing a good editor couldn't sort out though.

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.

The novel begins with a raid on a research facility during which a leading biochemist is murdered and lab-animals released. Investigator Dr Steven Dunbar is called in and although his investigations initially reveal that the murdered scientist's work was simply related to production of flu vaccine, something just doesn't 'sit right' with Dunbar....

I found this a very enjoyable medical-politics thriller. It was pleasingly pacey and refreshingly allowed the reader to solve the mystery as the plot unfolded. I also found it very witty in places and enjoyed McClures digs at 'government organisation speak'.

flawed but ok
I agree with those who found this book a little disappointing. It had a believable premise but the characters were a bit wooden, and the twists were pretty obvious. Read more

Too easy to thrill
