Outbreak ~ Review

Outbreak
By Davis Bunn

Theo Bishop hasn't talked to his older brother Kenny in years and he's not sure he wants to now. But when Kenny pours millions into his company Theo feels that he has to respond to his brother. What follows is something Theo never expected - a danger-filled trip to Africa, a life-changing investigation, and a world in danger from a previously unknown killer.

When Theo agrees to see something that his brother feels he has to see he knew something in Kenny had changed. But what the change was Theo didn't know. Going to West Africa opened his eyes to a threat that someone is determined to keep hidden - a threat that leaves total devastation in its wake with no survivors and no witnesses.

Paired with Avery Madison a biological researcher and Della Haverty an investigative reporter, Theo is in a race against time. A race that could result in the devastation of the Eastern North American Coastal regions. But this deadly ecological puzzle isn't the only danger facing this newly formed team as someone has put a price on Theo Bishop's head and if anyone gets in the way, well, their lives are on borrowed time too.

I really enjoyed this newest suspense fiction from Davis Bunn - I will admit I'd have liked the story to continue on a bit more just to find out what finally happens.  Now if there was to be a second story I would not be opposed to that possibility as there was definitely a dangling carrot that I'd like to continue following. If this is a standalone title it is resolved enough that the reader will have an idea of what is to come and be satisfied with what their mind can imagine.


About the Book:

The Danger Hasn't Passed-

            It's Just Changed Locations.

Something sinister is happening in the waters off the coast of West Africa, trailing death in its wake. Local insurgencies are no longer the only imminent danger-and the panic mounts. But before a global alarm can be sounded, the sea currents shift, and the outbreak evaporates. Coastal populations are relieved when life returns to normal, and the region's governments are all too happy to sweep the publicity nightmare under the rug.

Theo Bishop and Avery Madison saw the devastation with their own eyes, and they know the danger hasn't passed-it's just changed locations. But everywhere they turn, powerful interests are determined to silence all credible evidence of the impending biological disaster-by any means necessary. They will have to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to convince the powers that be of the toxic destruction about to be unleashed on American soil...
