My 6th Gerritsen book....and it still fascinates me.

The book started off with a deep sea exploration which was of no interest to me. Then a string of weird abbreviations started pouring in from everywhere! It was frustrating trying to read - having to check the glossary for the meanings for the abbreviations or remain in confusion. I chose to guess after a few attempts, and even to skip some of them.

The story became exciting in chapter 8, when Astronaut Kenichi discovered dead rats, one after a ...more

This is the first Tess Gerritsen book I have read that is not a Rizzoli And Isles book, and its fantastic. A really good story, well written, had to read it in just two sittings, its that good.

Its a must read from me, but its a very gory book, saying that, it has a great endin ...more

I loved this book. I couldnt put it down.
Most of this book takes place aboard a space station, where things slowly but surely go horribly wrong.

There is a virus loose in the space station, and it is horribly claiming the crew members one by one. And Ground Control does not want the astronauts aboard the space station back. Emma Watson, the physician aboard the space station, has to attempt to figure out the source of the virus, and effect a cure, before it is too late.

Space/medical thriller—mutation—alien life—genetic manipulation.
So very far removed from Gerritsen's Rizzoli & Isles series that without knowing the author, it would definitely not be attributable to the same author.
I would like to see Tess pursue more SF oriented work like Gravity ...more
