Somehow when I reviewed this I must have inadvertently left a 1 star review and that was not ever the case.

One of my favorites of the James Reese series.

Thought provoking, especially when compared to real history.

Good ole Chemical Weapons story. Very scary that this could happen. We are more vulnerable than we think. Love this series. Yes, it is a lot of guns and ammunition but the story gets you through.

Although I enjoyed the first couple books this one has way to much “nonessential” info. Carr needlessly goes deep into the backstory of fiction characters that are minor to the story in order to fill out the book, along with a ton of politics. Although Im conservative and not opposed to the views like some reviews, If I wanted to read about politics I wouldn’t be reading a fictional book. So much of the book is filled with backstorys and politics that it barely touches on James Reece and the storyline we came here to read

I loved the first 3 books of the series. This is just a pale copy of the kind of “action” books that filled the shelves after Sept 11. No nuance, zero reflection on the past 20 years. Disappointing from this author.

Wish Carr would leave out the right wing politics.

All of the books were very well written.

Loved it - can’t wait for #5!!

Jack Carr is truly one of the best new writers in the genre. He’s obviously knowledgeable both in serving in the armed services and being a continuous student. His characters are relatable and real. My only qualm with the book is the subject matter (a weaponized virus) was difficult to read in this time of a pandemic. I’m sure at any other time this would’ve been 5 stars.
