6 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
MICHAEL CRICHTON meets STEPHEN KING at their finest with the creepiest opening Ive ever read. Lisa Gardner * Joins the ranks of classic paranoid thrillers about human achievement run amok, with STEPHEN KINGs The Stand and Michael Crichtons Terminal Man. Joseph Finder * A heart-stopping thriller. a must-read for MICHAEL CRICHTON fans. Dallas Morning News * Similar in atmosphere and style to MICHAEL CRICHTON and STEPHEN KING. ... A race-against-the-clock thriller. Booklist FLIGHT 194 LANDED. SOMETHING LETHAL AWAITS OUTSIDE. THIS IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL. An airplane touches down at a desolate airport in a remote Colorado ski town. Shortly after landing, Dr. Lyle Martin, a world-class infectious disease specialist, is brusquely awakened to shocking news: Everyone not on the plane appears to be dead. The world has gone dark. While they were in the air, a lethal new kind of virus surfaced, threatening mankind's survival, and now Martinone of the most sought-after virologists on the planet until his career took a precipitous slideis at the center of the investigation. Moving at lightning pace from the snowbound Rockies to the secret campus of Google X, where unlimited budgets may be producing wonders beyond our capacity to control, Dead on Arrival is a brilliantly imaginative, intricately plotted thriller that draws on Matt Richtel's years of science and technology reporting for the New York Times, and establishes him as one of the premier thriller writers working today.

165 of 2021. Not for me. It was slow in places. I struggled to really get invested in the story or characters.

An infectious disease specialist, a Google-based conspiracy, cell-phones causing death-like symptoms. This thriller should be a barn-burner, but it‘s strangely slow and ponderous. I can‘t remember how I added this to my TBR list at the Library, but I don‘t really recommend it to you-all.

3 out of 5 stars. Okay, so I'll get right to the point and keep it short. There were times when this book seemed promising and held me in rapt assiduity. Yet other times it simply reverberated bland echos of other dystopian novels. And for those reasons, among others, I'll not endorse it, nor condemn it. dg

#TBRtemptation post 1! Recently released. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT reporter, a thriller in the vein of Michael Crichton. Dr. Lyle Martin, a virologist, finds himself in a hot zone when his plane lands in Colorado and everyone outside of it appears dead from disease. As the news spreads, tension mounts and the world begins to panic. From the CDC to a secret Google X campus to D.C., the clock's ticking. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
