Viable Threat by Julie Rowe
5.0
**I received a copy of Viable Threat from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review**
Viable Threat by Julie Rowe is book one of her new Outbreak Task Force series. This is my first book by the author and I plan to read her other series Biological Response Team and I can't wait for the next book in this series. If I could I'd give this more than five stars I would because its that good.
Special Forces soldier and medic Walter River has been loaned out to the CDC to help out their team in El Paso when a drug resistant and lethal Bio-engineered strain has been released in a college town. When he meets Dr. Ava Lloyd little does he know that they'll soon be running for their lives trying to find patient zero and surviving bomb blasts. It will take a team of doctors, scientists, Homeland Security and a grumpy transit bus driving Drill Sargent ("DS") to find the radicalized person who is recruiting disgruntled college students who created and spread the disease.
Dr. Ava Lloyd has been all over the world fighting Ebola and other diseases but this is the first time she has been confronted by a bomb toting radical whose ring tone is Darth Vader's death march. But it will take a entire team to keep one step ahead of the kingpin who has convinced students to spread the antibiotic resistant pathogen with hopes that the military will leave the middle east. When Ava and River finally succumb to their attraction to each other can they keep each other alive before the disease kills another person?
This story reminded me a little of Outbreak by Robin Cook but its the way the characters all meshed together to find the cell leader before its too late. But it was the addition of the retired drill sarge who will steal the show when he's tasked with watching the students while River and Ava search for the leader. I look forward to reading the next book if its as good as Viable Threat.
