A review by karenteacher
The Alpha Plague by Michael Robertson

2.0

The basic idea is good - but the plot has been done to death (pun intended). Governments are fighting over supremacy, ban weapons, create illegal bioweapons, test turns the bioweapons on the creators. Protagonist fights to save self and child, and becomes more selfless in the process. The ending is clearly created to lead into the next book, and, frankly, does not suit the character, even with his evolution. The use of the word "fuck" throughout the text so frequently that it becomes punctuation rather than emphasis also detracts from the story. Having read the description, I was hoping for better; however, having gotten a free copy via a promotion, at least I got what I paid for.
