About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Deep within the Arctic Circle, three environmental scientists from the UK's Arctic Research Station trudge through a blizzard landscape in search of shelter. There's a cabin ahead. It appears abandoned. No lights or tell-tale smoke. No snowmobile parked outside.
The first thing the team's medic, Dr Sheila Mackenzie, notices when she enters is the smell. It's rank, rotting, foetid. Then suddenly there's movement.
A figure, barely recognisable as human, lies slumped on a sofa, his face staring back at her in the torchlight. It's hideously disfigured by livid pustules, rivulets of blood run from his nostrils, his chest covered in black bile. Momentarily Dr Mackenzie can't comprehend what she's seeing. Then the alarm bells begin to ring. These are the signs of chronic, deadly infection....
But the man is trying to say something. She edges closer to him and it's then that the convulsions begin. His body erupts into a violent fit of coughing, spewing out a toxic cocktail of blood, bile and mucus....
Dr Mackenzie already knows it's too late. She is contaminated....
Setting in train a terrifying chain of events that threatens millions with a deadly, man-made contagion....
And so begins Frank Gardner's gripping new thriller, with troubled MI6 Operative Luke Carlton in pursuit of an extraordinary conspiracy - and a weapon more gruesome than anything the world has seen....

I had this on pre-oder and was desperately waiting in anticipation of its release. Set in 2022 it is very current, and given that we are all very familiar with the current Covid19 situation it doesn’t require much imagination to realise this ‘Outbreak’ could be just around the corner, The story line trundles along at quite a pace, and I was glad I had read the first book so I was well familiarised with the background to the main characters - although the book does stand well on its own without this advanced knowledge - it just made it more enjoyable.
As for that ending....... well I am not sure what to make of that and have fingers crossed Frank will produce a fourth Luke Carlton book??
I was enthralled from the title to the end!
