The story line had me asking questions about where other help was. The fact that a park ranger and a CDC worker accomplished all they did alone was too far fetched. The actual writing itself was well done and I did find myself liking the main 2 characters but even in a crisis situation they were joking around and just "ho hum". Imagine that terrorists are planning to introduce a deadly virus into the atmosphere and blow up the entire western portion of the United States at the same time. What can accomplish such a feat? Much of the story takes place around Yellowstone National park and since he's involved from the beginning, a park ranger teams up with a CDC agent to stop the catastrophe before it takes place. Both get the virus that is killing people within a day, and yet they continue in their quest to stop the end of the world. The first 75% of the story was exciting and hard to put the book down, but the last quarter tended to drag on in places, causing me to skim through the remaining pages. I'm also disappointed in the ending and thought it should have been expanded some showing the outcome and the after-affect of the event at the end. Noting that this is a series, perhaps the next book will expound on it. Worth a read, but I will not be pursuing the next installment. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The writing got pretty choppy towards the middle, it didn't really smooth out. However the characters are likable. The plot was good, if slightly curious. And a rather odd twist of Canadian company pitted against the US. It's a good quick read, that's interesting. Probably other than the weird settings and plot probably won't stick with you.

A highly contagious, manufactured bioweapon has just been released in Yellowstone National Park. But that's not even the worst problem. Racing a countdown, Harvey Bennett and his friends discover a plot to explode a bomb under Lake Yellowstone that will set off an extinction level event. The Enigma Strain is exciting from page one to the very end. I highly recommend this book! ( )
