Pandemic thrillers appear to be one of the popular subjects for today's thrillers. Though published in 2005, this issue will contine to resonate.

Well-research and written, I believe the fear of a pandemic is real despite the probability being low. The fear is captured as well as the potential. What I did not like was the connection to, and blame on, Islamic terrorists. What could have been a decent thriller ala Outbreak turns into a predictable, cliche-riddle, well, terrorist story. Post 9/11 terrorism connections appear to be the rage as well and I wish today's authors would stay away from it like they would stay away from the flu described in this book. Though relevant, it has become common place and unoriginal.

I have not read Kalla's Resistance but after reviewing the notes for it, I fear it will be the same as Pandemic, only with a bacteria vice a virus.
