Product Description

The third Dr Stephen Dunbar thriller.

When a traveller dies on a flight back to London from Africa, Ebola virus seems to be the reason. However, other victims in the UK are dying of the same illness and there seems to be no link. As politicians equivocate and scientists attempt to find a cause, Dr Steven Dunbar begins to question his own belief in medicine.

Humphrey James Barclay is onboard a flight from Ndanga to London when he starts bleeding uncontrollably, passing out almost immediately. Among the passengers is Dr Palmer who diagnoses haemorrhagic fever, one of its from being known as Ebola, an extremely contagious disease. Although every precaution is taken after the plane has landed in Heathrow, several passengers, Dr Palmer and a stewardess die a few days later of the same symptoms as Barclay because they had come close to the sick man without any protection. Dr Steven Dunbar, a Sci-Med investigator, is commissioned to investigate the case and when a post-mortem is performed on Barclay's body, a filovirus is discovered as being the cause for his haemorrhagic fever. However, this is surprising because scientists agree on the fact that there is no haemorrhagic fever in Ndanga. Even more surprising is the fact that a young woman, Ann Danby, is found dead in her flat in Manchester, also having succumbed to haemorrhagic fever. As more and more cases are reported with completely unrelated patients throughout the British Isles, a race against time starts for Dr Dunbar and his colleagues to find and eradicate the mysterious disease.
An entertaining medical thriller in the same vein as Michael Palmer or Robin Cook.

I have only one complaint about this book - it has had a detrimental effect on my sleep for the past few nights! I started the book on Sunday, and finished it in the early hours of this (Wednesday) morning. For the first two nights I found it hard to put down - and only the knowledge that I had to be up early for work ensured that the bookmark went in, and the light was turned out. Last night I just HAD to finish it - so I hope my boss understands if my work is a bit erratic today. This was a really good thriller - and keeps up the level of suspense even considering you know from the first chapter that there is medical research malfeasance going on. I've read the first two Steven Dunbar books also - the rats in 'Deception' still give me shivers - and I intend reading the rest of the series (to date) as well. It is a 'medical' thriller but isn't so overtly medical as to deter the non-medically minded reader. Steven Dunbar is an engaging hero - and a dashing romantic one as well! If only my GP were more like him - oh well! I don't know what the literary equivalent of 'vaut le voyage' is - but this book is definitely 'worth the read'.

Gripping and well-paced, Wildcard provides everything you could want from a medical thriller. It is well written and a great example of McClure's work.
