Carriers: A Journey Into The Rainforest For the Obvious Source.
Carriers by Patrick Lynch
Okay not much of intro for this one. All I can say is it was a church book giveaway and I grabbed whatever looked mildly interesting. And one of those books I did grab is called Carriers by Patrick Lynch. It was a simple white cover with bright bold red title. Then there was an inside cover revealing three faceless military people in gas masks and bio hazard suites. Which too me is a v More...

Carriers by Patrick Lynch is a superb zombie-monster type thriller type book. it centers around an ancient virus that has been lurking deep in the indonesian jungle that supposedly caused for the many disapearances of the local villagers. An expert team of American scientists including Holly Becker arrive at the scene but to only be greeted with corpses as far as the eye can see. I recommend this book to all zombie or man eating monster type books because the mystery of the unknown virus will be

I picked up this book because I really enjoyed reading "The Hot Zone." I have to say that I really enjoyed the thrill ride I was taken on.... yes, the story jumps around a bit and it seems like there are so many ends that they couldn't possibly all be covered in the pages of the book, but they are all intertwined- threads of a larger rope. Each one makes you curious in a different way, and the surprise at the end kept me turning pages until it was all over...

When I first began it, I put it down for a while because of the stereotypical language associated with the military. I came back to it later, and got into it. It was a very interesting twist on the epidemic source, but I wonder how scientifically feasible it is. Definitely something to think about. The ending of the epilogue was very weak odd and out of place. Kinda ruined it just a little if you ask me.

Fast-paced suspense about an Ebola-like virus that breaks out in Indonesia. Military scientists at USAMRIID must try to determine where the virus originated to try to stop the outbreak. Meanwhile, a journalist discovers her daughters are now missing near one of the original outbreaks and tries to find them. Suspenseful medical thriller. Reminded me of the movie Outbreak.

This was a really good book. I know it was turned into a movie at some point, but I have never seen it. It is kind of like the book "outbreak", only better.

Um, if you've seen Outbreak, there's really no reason to pick up this book.
