Gorgon

by Joseph Massucci

A MAN-MADE No disease is more deadly or more enigmatic than the genetically engineered virus known as “Saint Vitus.” Seconds after infecting its victim, the neurotoxin causes massive hemorrhaging, madness, convulsions and inevitably ... death. Experiments show the airborne virus is four hundred times more lethal as conventional neurotoxins – with characteristics that make it ideal for covert biological warfare. A MADMAN’S Since its unauthorized “birth,” the abomination has been the U.S. Army’s best-kept secret – until its theft. Now in the hands of al-Qaeda’s most dangerous terrorist known only as “Gorgon,” Saint Vitus becomes a terrible weapon with truly unimaginable potential for destruction. When Gorgon targets the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, a desperate president orders all military resources directed at the virus’ destruction – even if that means unleashing a thermonuclear hell.

An absolute page-turner, with great characters, meticulously thought out plot and story-line - one of those books you race through to keep finding out what happens, yet dreading getting to the end because you know the story will end. As a big fan of Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler and other similar genre authors, Joe Massucci has joined my top pics - I'll be eagerly awaiting further books!

Love the character Jose lol.... someone should send his son a bride so he can have many babies!

Well written and well planned. I normally tear through this genre at an incredible speed, so it was nice to have something last a couple of days. No incredible surprises or twists, but energetic and well-paced.

It started out ok, but I just didn't like the last third. I spent a lot of time skimming and thinking I read all this before somewhere.

Really not my cup of tea.
