Review of 'Quantico' on 'Goodreads'

So many tantalizing things here, technology, political intrigue, and back story untold. Very enjoyable.

Quantico
by Greg Bear

(4 reviews)
The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem has been blown to bits by extremists, and, in retaliation, thousands have died in another major attack on the United States. Now the FBI has been dispatched to deal with a new menace. A plague targeted to ethnic groups—Jews or Muslims or both—has the potential to wipe out entire populations. But the FBI itself is under political assault. There's a good chance agents William Griffin, Fouad Al-Husam, and Jane Rowland will be part of the last class at Quantico. As the young agents hunt a brilliant homegrown terrorist, they join forces with veteran bio-terror expert Rebecca Rose. But the plot they uncover—and the man they chase—prove to be far more complex than anyone expects.

Review of 'Quantico' on 'Goodreads'

Sad to say, I enjoyed this book the least of any of Bear's, and I've read nearly everything he's written.
I've had trouble with some of his previous works, not being able to find a character I liked, but in those the stories carried me past it. In this one I never could. The overall premise and twist is interesting, but not worth the time investment to get to.
Greg Bear is one of my favourite authors, so it pains me to give a bad review. This one's a miss.
