  <default_description> A near-future thriller that pits young FBI agents against a brilliant  homegrown terrorist&lt;P&gt; It's the second decade of the twenty-first century, and terrorism has  escalated almost beyond control. New weapons are being spawned in remote  basement labs, and no one feels safe. &lt;P&gt; In North America, the FBI uses cutting-edge technology to thwart domestic  terrorists. The War on Terror has reached a deadly stalemate. &lt;P&gt; The FBI has been dispatched to deal with a new menace. Like the Anthrax  threat of 2001, a plague targeted to ethnic groups has the potential to  wipe out entire populations. But the FBI itself is under political assault.  There's a good chance that 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 far more complex than anyone expects. &lt;P&gt; &lt;i&gt;Quantico&lt;/i&gt; is a selection of: Book-of-the-Month Club, Science Fiction  Book Club, Military Book Club, Mystery Guild, American Compass Book Club, and Quality Paperback Book Club.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting near future SF with decent extrapolation on current technology in this Bioterror thriller.  It is not often that plot twists take me by surprise but seem perfectly logical once they fall into place. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've enjoyed reading a number of Greg Bear's books, but this one--not so much.  I bought it to read at the beach, and I guess for a beach thriller, it's OK.  There are some interesting ideas in the book, but much of it was just not convincing to me.]]></body>
