“Written in 1987, this is apparently written as a response to AIDS and to HMOs and the panic that went along with it.

The Ebols virus, for no apparent reason, pops up in various US cities for no apparent reason, and a new CDC person is determined to get to the root of it all.
A fun read with some weak plot lines (too early to have been written with a movie in line).”“Nice plot ... there is movie also on this 'Invasion' .. but loved the book than the movie :)”

nina m wrote this review Wednesday, July 15 2009. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“Dr. Marissa Blumenthal of the CDC investigates a series of deadly ebola outbreaks. The ebola virus, considered a level 4 pathogen, then plays havoc with the lives of innocent people. The ultimate villain is the ever-helpful doctor friend of Dr. Blumenthal. In the end Dr. Blumenthal is nearly killed by a goon but an FBI agent kills him and she is saved. The person she suspected was innocent and simply had been so caught up in protecting the CDC that he refused to listen and figured out the truth almost too late. Later it is explained to her that due to her investigation the people responsible for the outbreaks were caught and were going to jail for a long time including her former friend and that what they did was being compared to the Nazis. She has become an international epidemiological hero for her actions but she has decided to possibly go back into pediatrics after a vacation she's about to take at the end of the story.

“Robin Cook always writes a very exciting story, lots of action keeps the story line moving.; and it's apparent he has done plenty of research on his topic”

I was so enthralled, that I could not put it down. I read it while walking, eating, working, talking on the phone and on bio breaks. i could not sleep until I finished it.

There have been a number of copycats books, so it may not be as exciting 20 years later, but it is still on the top of my list.”
