Complex, educational, exciting great story

The amount of research for this book must have been phenomenal. I learnt a lot about mosquitos. There are a lot of characters that make up this fascinating story which is very original. The narration was superb. I enjoyed Nick Louth’s writing so much I will read more books of his. A great read

Disappointing

I have enjoyed the DCI Gillard series, so I was excited about this book. Don’t bother. The plot has potential, but the book totally fails to deliver. Random, chaotic, and completely fails to thrill

Interesting

Especially if you equate the malaria epidemic (which is what the book is about) with the coronavirus; quite scary.
Highlights the philosophy of large pharmaceutical companies - profit.

Good story but still..

This is a good story. But it's not gripping. Because there is far too much narration for my taste and too little action. Even the end, there is still a lot of explanation. Personally I do prefer British English. Didn't like the American accent of the reader.

great

loved it, but found this author looking for narrator, Lucy Price-Lewis. I found a whammy, ordering next book before finishing this oms. Not too intellectual for bedtime listening and both narrators are brill.

Another great story!

Reading this in April 2021, when lockdown was coming to a tentative end again, I thought this book had been written within the last year. to hear it was written more than a decade ago was mind blowing. The story is brilliant, and well narrated. I can't wait to read more from Nick Louth.

Boring, boring, boring !!!

I bought this book on the hype that it was "The most gripping thriller you will ever read". Well folks it certainly was not that. I gave up just over half way through as I was bored out of my mind as it was so dull. I have other books by Nick Louth which I thoroughly enjoyed, but this spent far too much time going into great detail about mosquitoes and malaria for me. Did not like the narrator much either which did not help. This won't put me off purchasing others in the present series I am reading at present but I definitely won't be buying any stand alone books by this author in the future.

So much effort for so little!

This story was disappointing in the writer had invested a lot of time and energy researching the science of his story, then let it down with an erratic storyline and thinly drawn characters.

I could only liken the characters to a comic collection of cliche’s, some were really embarrassing and almost all were inconsistent.

The threads were disjointed, the premise for some were weak or plain silly.

Nick Louth writes some good things but for me, this isn’t one of them.

He needs to have a chat to his editor and work out who is doing what when they work through a story.

Confusing

I found I had to keep going back a couple of chapters to work out what was going on and who was who. Not sure I ever understood the whole story
