This book is actually by Dean Koontz and it is one of his first novels. In fact if you looked at the book list in his recent novels this book is not listed. This book is a political thriller. A secret group operates within the U.S. government and they have plans to overthrow the government of China. They have placed a capsule that contains a virus in a Chinese citizen and their plan is to release this virus.
Obviously, this is not a typical example of the author's work. If I read this book and I did not know who wrote it I would have said it is more likely to be Tom Clancy than Dean Koontz. I liked the idea even though I had to remind myself this was written when the Cold War was being waged. I wished the author added more depth to the characters. He never fleshed them out and I never connected with them. You can tell this is an early work by an accomplished writer. The book does hold my interest throughout as I wonder if the heroes will be able to stop the impending terrorist action.
This book was a quick read and I enjoyed reading a different type of book from my favorite author. I started reading it more to full my curiosity but I ended up enjoying it like any other typical novel.
