The deadliest disease in history....
A lethal pathogen appears on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Dr. Samantha Bower of the Centers for Disease Control is handed the case and asked to investigate its origins and containment.
A mysterious figure that is not who he appears to be....
Samantha discovers a lethal pathogen unlike any she has encountered in her lifetime. Extremely contagious with a mortality rate higher than any disease ever recorded, it is an extinction level event. A man with an intimate knowledge of the microorganism offers her help. But Samantha Bower begins to suspect he is not who he says he is.
Humanity hangs on the edge of a cliff....
Samantha begins to realize there are forces at work that she can't understand. Pressures are being applied from outside sources and not all of them wish for a vaccine. But Samantha is sure of one thing: If a vaccine isn't developed, humanity may soon be an endangered species....

Book is okay, Narration is abysmal!

The narration was another problem for me. A doomsday story with a virus that could wipe out mankind is better suited to a male voice that is deep and somewhat ominous, rather than a medium to high pitched female voice. In addition, when there were breaks within a chapter (such as changing to different characters & locations), The narrator plowed right ahead without the hint of a break. It was very disorienting. In addition, the voices she created for the characters were not distinct enough to know who was talking when there was multi-character dialogue.
If you have a lot of extra credits to burn this might be worth listening to, but I wouldn’t spend money on it.
Started out well, ultimately disappointing.

Would you consider the audio edition of Plague to be better than the print version?
Cannot say as i did not read the print version.Who was your favorite character and why?
I guess Sam was my favourite character. A strong woman, educated and dedicated. Though the narrator made her sound a bit whinny at times.Did Marilyn Ghigliotti do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
She did do a good job, but her voice had a tendency to be annoying almost...i found it reminded me of a teenager asked to read in front of the class (somewhat monotone, with infliction of being bored). I feel that this narrator was the wrong choice and would be more suited to young adult books.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
i listen to my audio books while hiking with my dog...1 to 1.5 hours at a time....but if i had been on a long car ride or plane ride, i would have had no problems listening to it all at once.Any additional comments?
Good story, simple, nothing out of the box here though.Good story....but not a fan of the narrator

This book could actually happen which terrifies me on certain levels. I'm thankful I'm a Christian and have God to rely on because in a scenario like this, you really don't have much else. Don't read if you're squeamish.
Chilling haunting and terrifyingly realistic.

Would you try another book from Victor Methos and/or Marilyn Ghigliotti?
Yes. I enjoyed the story once I decided not to dwell on medical inaccuracies.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Mispronounciations ("filling" from the plane instead of "filing" from the plane). Inconsistent Aussie accent. Were the lesions "pustules" or "papules"?If this book were a movie would you go see it?
I would see the movie if it had one of my favorite actors.Any additional comments?
The author should listen to his medical advisor more closely. Have the advisor listen to the audio script as well.Nice story, interesting characters

What did you like best about Plague? What did you like least?
The premise was interesting and quite valid, considering what we have been seeing in the news about outbreaks. I learned a lot about the CDC and what its purpose is, and how very common outbreaks are around the world.....which is quite terrifying in itself! What makes the book so terrifying is the prospect of how the military and government could possibly treat such a scenario. Quite thought provoking.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
We are bombarded with negative horrors in our news daily.....I would prefer a somewhat more positive outcome......as much as possible anyway with the prospect of an outbreak.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Probably, its almost like the accident you can't look away from, although your are horrified by what you see.Terrifying Scenario
