"The True Virus" - Biotech Thriller (Fantastic Review)

Unread post

I am pleased to anounce that my new biotech thriller, “The True Virus”, is available as an ebook. Paperback coming soon. Please see sysnopsis below or go directly to Amazon for Kindle version.
http://www.amazon.com/True-Virus-Thrill ... es+vrooman
Synopsis:
This story takes place during the December 2008 to January 2009 Gaza/Israeli war. It starts out with a hacking incident involving the main CIA computer. After this breach in security, John Brookfield a CIA computer specialist travels to Israel to work with Sarah Stein the Co-developer of DNA computer technology to find out if the DNA component of the CIA system has been compromised. John is shocked when the cell phone of a fellow CIA agent in Israel is hit by a bullet and explodes in his hand. Soon after, an epidemic breaks out and the agent dies. With Sarah's help, John discovers that a Hamas bioterrorist is the hacker who programmed the CIA's system to produce the real live virus that caused the epidemic. The story takes a dramatic turn when Hamas uses this same virus, which the World Health Organization has now identified as Ebola, to infect John.

FIRST REVIEW IS FIVE STAR
5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting and educational thriller! March 30, 2014
By Gary Dunkel
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author uses computer and medical science mixed with political intrigue to weave a fast-paced thriller. Scientists - both medical and political will especially like this but everyday readers will find it very enjoyable and interesting.

Another Good Review
The only thing missing is Jack Bauer... April 26, 2014
By George Esler (BookTalk member)
I don't normally read technological thrillers, but this book fit the bill as an interesting and well-conceived tale that combines bio-terrorism, action, betrayal, and mystery, set primarily in the Middle East. The CIA agents called to investigate a new virus threat discover more than they bargained for when the virus turns out to be not quite like anything ever seen before. I won't say much more than that at the risk of giving away semi-spoilers. Between the terrorists, the racial tensions, and the unpredictable nature of who will survive and who will not, I couldn't help but think this is the kind of plot you might see on a TV show like 24. There are a few scenes where the pacing seems to be a bit too quick, and some of the minor characters who served no real purpose maybe got a little too much "screen time," but overall it was a good tale and fans of technological thrillers and/or medical dramas would probably appreciate the technological and medical aspects.
