Publisher's summary

The world is grappling with an issue of enormous scale and human impact. In the arms race with deadly pathogens, there can be no final peace. The only question is whether we fight well or poorly. Defeat means massive disruptions to our daily lives, huge losses economically, and death.

From the imaginative mind of international best-selling author, Bobby Akart, comes a series ripped from today's headlines. Meet the Virus Hunters, the disease detectives on the front line of a never-ending battle to save humanity from viruses one-billionth our size.

Mr. Akart has delivered up-all-night thrillers in his 40-plus novels. His new Virus Hunters novels will give you pause and remind you that we're in a global war for survival against an unseen foe.

With a Bobby Akart novel, "You are there. Feeling what they feel. Anger, joy, love, mourning. You feel it all. Not everyone can write a book like this. It takes a special writer to make you feel a book."

Finally, this series is dedicated to the Virus Hunters - the disease detectives, shoe-leather epidemiologists of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service who work tirelessly to keep these deadly infectious diseases from killing us all. Thank you!

Fast paced read

I love a good medical thriller and this does not disappoint. I started and finished this book in under 48hrs. I am anxious to start the second book in this series. I love the small added details referencing our current pandemic. Adds a level of intrigue.

Engaging and thought provoking story

This book hopefully stays fiction, but it parallels so many things that could likely happen and gives the reader items to think about and how each one of us would handle the situation.

Couldn’t Put It Down but It Ended with a Whimper

This is not a summary of The Virus hunters story itself. It was excellent, suspenseful and fascinating. The ending was disappointing and lame, so much so that I feel I was deceived. I know there are additional Virus Hunters books but there was no hint that readers would be left hanging. Also, the reader was too monotoned for a thriller. Exciting moments were diluted by the flatness of her reading of sentences. Akart is too good a writer to rely on a cliffhanger to force another book sale.
