Gute Story
Reviewed in Germany on 25 November 2012Verified Purchase
Sehr starker Einstieg. Gute Story Idee mit hohem Spannungsanteil. Gegen Ende etwas Pathos und amerikanes Cliché: Papa rettet erst Amerika und dann die Familie. Trotzdem spannend und gut zu lesen. mehr als den Klappentet möchte ich nicht verraten- man kann das Buch bei Amazon anlesen. Wem die ersten 5 Seiten gefallen, der sollte es einfach kaufen und lesen. da kann man nichts falsch machen.

Don't bother

As others have written, the plot (oil eating/crapping bacteria) was interesting but during the course of the novel, our main character aka SUPERHERO manages to fight entrenched bureaucrats, discover the means of infection, and foil the evil plot, while being a good father, husband and neighborhood block leader. By the end, everyone Good becomes a Better person and a few neighborhood nasties get their just desserts. The waffling US President probably isn't going to be reelected and the world economy; after ditching the US dollar as the world reserve currency, gets all better in a paragraph and a half. Hurrah!
My sentences have become on running and more incoherent as I realize the time I wasted reading this tripe.
Oh, another thing. A submarine captain and a couple of blue jackets rowing ashore in a rubber dingy would not conduct a snatch and grab of the EVIL Mastermind on foreign soil. That's what we have SEALS for.

Poor reader (audio version)
Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2011Verified Purchase
I am generally neutral toward readers of audio books. A few make the book memorable by adding breadth to the experience. Rarely do they detract. Dick Hill is an exception to this. He tries too hard to make it a performance. Like most audio book listeners, I listen to the books in my car during my daily commute to work and on longer trips. Hill varies his volume from a whisper to a shout and I found myself driving with one hand on the volume control to be ready to turn it up or down, depending on how he saw fit to read the current passage. Throw in a little road noise and it becomes quite a challenge to get through this book. He makes the reading central to the book, instead of incidental, and in this case, it borders on unacceptable. I also became weary of his giving most of the characters upper Midwest accents, regardless of where they were from. Overall, an audio presentation to be endured, not relished.

Fell Flat.
Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2017Verified Purchase
Interesting concepts that are modern and thought provoking, however the book's turn and decision to focus on the micro situation around the main character made the book fall fairly flat. The problem is that it took the book from an interesting science/apocalyptic novel to a poor mans action thriller.

hard to put down..
Reviewed in the United States on 3 November 2016Verified Purchase
there is some scarey stuff in this book, mostly because it seems so possible. His writing reads very authentic and must be greatly researched. As with his other books, it leaves you with a lot to think about if something like this happened. and it could!
