This was one of the funniest mcs I have ever come across! The dry dad humor killed me every time. I listened to this on audiobook as Scott Brick is my absolute FAVORITE narrator of all time. It can certainly be read as a one shot stand alone but the series looks like it features the MC through all of them. Fell in love with John Corey, can't wait to read more with him!

Thriller surrounding the mysterious deaths of two scientists who work on Plum Island - a government facility specializing in exotic viruses. Great main character and surprising twists.

Excellent book! I am very glad it was recommended to me by a friend. Demille is a great author that has created a likable character in John Corey. I just finished a series by Charlie Huston and this character is very similar and enjoyable. I have a new series to read!!!

Parts of Plum Island were excellent, and some parts were so-so. But the overarching issue with this book was the fact the MC is a total !@#$!#@head. I can't think of a single redeeming quality, and I'm glad he blames himself because he did cause bad things to happen.
The writing was adequate, and the stories behind the Plum Island research facility and the history of the area were fascinating and made for a great story. The MC really did drag this down for me, and it almost feels like a missed opportunity with this novel. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Also, please let's don't pretend that Budweiser is actually beer.

Foi o meu primeiro contacto com o autor e consigo perceber porque é que é um dos autores mais lidos do mundo. O thriller é bastante inteligente e intenso. O autor consegue construir as personagens de maneira muito interessante.
Apesar de achar que há partes muito densas e demasiado descritivas, percebo que o autor pretende que nos sintamos parte da história.
