Review of 'Outbreak' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

What a fun and interesting ride! When you start trusting one character, he suddenly appears untrustworthy, so you start to trust someone else – only to have him prove even less trustworthy, and you're ready to throw away the whole system, knowing all along that you have to trust SOMEONE. But who? I think that this was 1 of his better books that I've read so far! And, of course, I truly like the genre :-)
